A Cable-driven Pan-tilt Mechanism' for Active Vision
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel pan-tilt mechanism has been developed to support high-perfonnance active vision research at the AND. The mechanism is unique in that it features parallel .actuation and cabledrive transmission technology. This paper describes its design ,and reports on the experimental evaluation of its perfonnance. Results show that the design concepts are sound, and lead to a practical and cost-effective means of achieving accurate high-speed camera pointing.

متن کاملMotion Estimation-based Self-Calibration of a Log-polar Pan-Tilt Camera
Two topics intimately linked to active vision are spacevariant vision and mechanical devices. On the one hand, log-polar images is a biologically inspired space-variant imaging model featuring very attractive properties. On the other hand, pan-tilt heads are a common platform in active vision, allowing the observer to dynamically perceive the environment. In order to relate motor commands (for ...
متن کاملStability Analysis and Robust PID Control of Cable Driven Robots Considering Elasticity in Cables
In this paper robust PID control of fully-constrained cable driven parallel manipulators with elastic cables is studied in detail. In dynamic analysis, it is assumed that the dominant dynamics of cable can be approximated by linear axial spring. To develop the idea of control for cable robots with elastic cables, a robust PID control for cable driven robots with ideal rigid cables is firstly de...
متن کاملObject Recognition using Smart Tag and Stereo Vision System on Pan-Tilt Mechanism
We propose a novel method for object recognition using the smart tag system with a stereo vision on a pan-tilt mechanism. We developed a smart tag which included IRED device. The smart tag is attached onto the object. We also developed a stereo vision system which pans and tilts for the object image to be the centered on each whole image view. A Stereo vision system on the pan-tilt mechanism ca...
