Increasing the Tracking Region of an Eye-in-Hand System Using Controlled Active Vision
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a control strategy which allows a manipulator/ camera system to track objects with planar motion while simultaneously avoiding kinematic singularities by moving in directions along which the tracking task space is unconstrained. The projection of a cartesian manipulability gradient on these directions of motion is used to determine the magnitude and direction of the required motion for singularity avoidance, while the controlled active vision paradigm is used for tracking. The algorithms developed have been experimentally verified on an eye-in-hand system. Results demonstrate the effectiveness of the method by showing that the tracking region of a manipulator tracking objects with planar motion can be increased by a factor of between two and three. The overall accuracy of the tracking system is also improved.

Introduction “Blink” is defined as closing and opening of the eyes in a small duration of time. In this study, we aimed to introduce a fast, robust, vision-based approach for blink detection. Materials and Methods This approach consists of two steps. In the first step, the subject’s face is localized every second and with the first blink, the system detects the eye’s location and creates an ope...

متن کاملAssessment and Comparison of Visual Skills among Footballers
Like bodily, physiological, and psychological skills which are commonly assessed in professional sport, assessment of visual skills is also of high importance. In this regard, and in order to organize teams efficiently, the skills of each player, considering his/her post in the pitch, should be developed for superiority over the opponent. The present study attempts to clarify if there is a mean...
