Simple Object Recognition and Cognitive Map Formation Using Human-Like Vision in a Virtual World

چکیده
In this paper we describe an algorithm for object recognition and cognitive map formation using stereo image data in a 3D virtual world where 3D objects and a robot with stereo imaging system are simulated. Stereo imaging system is simulated so that the actual human visual system properties are parameterized. Only the stereo images obtained from this world are supplied to the virtual robot (agent). By applying our disparity algorithm on stereo image pairs, depth map for the current view is obtained. Using the depth information for the current view, a cognitive map of the environment is updated gradually while the agent is exploring the environment. The agent explores its environment in an intelligent way using the current view and environmental map information obtained up to date. Also, during exploration if a new object is observed, from its view from different directions, it is labeled with its shape such as sphere, cylinder, cone ...

Active Stereo Vision for Object Recognition and Cognitive Map Formation in a Virtual World – A Demonstration
In very few mobile robotic applications stereovision based mapping and navigation is used because dealing with stereo images is very hard and time consuming. Despite all the problems, stereovision still becomes one of the most important resources of knowing the world for a mobile robot because imaging provides much more information of the world than most other sensors. Real robotic applications...
متن کاملHuman Computer Interaction Using Vision-Based Hand Gesture Recognition
With the rapid emergence of 3D applications and virtual environments in computer systems; the need for a new type of interaction device arises. This is because the traditional devices such as mouse, keyboard, and joystick become inefficient and cumbersome within these virtual environments. In other words, evolution of user interfaces shapes the change in the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). In...
