J.W. BRUCE, Peter STUBBERUD and Ashok IYER1 RANGE ESTIMATION AND OBJECT IDENTIFICATION WITH A SINGLE CAMERA MACHINE VISION SYSTEM

Typically machine vision systems estimate ranges using stereoscopic vision systems or specialized range detectors. Although these methods are effective, they are expensive. In this paper, a single camera range estimation algorithm is developed for a low-cost machine vision system that uses off-the-shelf components. This algorithm uses the perspective transformation and a priori knowledge of sce...

Hans Meinhardt (1938–2016)

The famous theoretical biologist Hans Meinhardt died on 11 February 2016 in Tübingen. Meinhardt is well known for mathematical models of biological pattern formation, which he applied to a wide range of problems in developmental biology such as body axis formation, segmentation, limb patterning, regeneration, phyllotaxis and surface patterns — most famously the color patterns on seashells. Hans...
