A Modular Head / Eye Platform for Real - Time Reactive Vision

چکیده
| This paper describes the design, implementation and testing of a high speed controlled stereo \head/eye" platform which facilitates the rapid redirection of gaze in response to visual input. It details the mechanical device, which is based around geared DC motors, and describes hardware aspects of the controller and vision system, which are implemented on a recon gurable network of general purpose parallel processors. The servo-controller is described in detail and higher level gaze and vision constructs outlined. The paper gives performance gures gained both from mechanical tests on the platform alone, and from closed loop tests on the entire system using visual feedback from a feature detector.

Reactions to peripheral image motion using a head/eye platform
In this paper we demonstrate four real-time reactive responses to movement in everyday scenes using an active head/eye platform. We first describe the design and realization of a high bandwidth four degree-of-freedom head/eye platform and visual feedback loop for the exploration of motion processing within active vision. The vision system divides processing into two scales and two broad functio...

متن کاملLibGaze: Real-time gaze-tracking of freely moving observers for wall-sized displays Vision, Modeling, and Visualization Proceedings
We present a mobile system for tracking the gaze of an observer in real-time as they move around freely and interact with a wall-sized display. The system combines a head-mounted eye tracker with a motion capture system for tracking markers attached to the eye tracker. Our open-source software library libGaze provides routines for calibrating the system and computing the viewer’s position and g...

This paper describes a system for visual telepresence that copies the motion of an operator's head onto the neck axes of an electromechanical stereo head/eye platform. Three or more point features on the operator's head are detected using an external static camera and tracked over time to recover the pose of the operator's head The process of capturing images, tracking features, recovering pose...
متن کاملImplementation of a Moving Target Tracking Algorithm Using Eye-RIS Vision System on a Mobile Robot
A moving target tracking algorithm is proposed here and implemented on the Anafocus Eye-RIS vision system, which is a compact and modular platform to develop real time image processing applications. The algorithm combines moving-object detection with feature extraction in order to identify the specific target in the environment. The algorithm was tested in a mobile robotics experiment in which ...
