An active vision architecture based on iconic representations

An Active Vision Architecture Based on Iconic Representations

Active vision systems have the capability of continuously interacting with the environment. The rapidly changing environment of such systems means that it is attractive to replace static representations with visual routines that compute information on demand. Such routines place a premium on image data structures that are easily computed and used. The purpose of this paper is to propose a gener...

Embedded Active Vision System Based on an FPGA Architecture

In computer vision and more particularly in vision processing, the impressive evolution of algorithms and the emergence of new techniques dramatically increase algorithm complexity. In this paper, a novel FPGA-based architecture dedicated to active vision (and more precisely early vision) is proposed. Active vision appears as an alternative approach to deal with artificial vision problems. The ...

Representations for Active Vision

As the field of Computational Vision matures, more efforts are devoted to vision systems that are active and need to interact with their envi­ ronment in real time. A prerequisite for inte­ grating Vision and Action is the development of a set of representations of the visual system's space-time, where space includes the system itself. Thus we are faced with the problem of studying the nature o...
