چکیده
Nowadays, digital image processing is the most common form of image processing. Digital image processing makes it possible to enhance image features of interest while attenuating detail irrelevant to a given application, and then extract useful information about the scene from the enhanced image. For instance, digital cameras usually include dedicated digital image processing chips in order to improve at real-time the quality of images directly on-board. This paper proposes a very low cost vision system that is able to perform image processing tasks with a wide set of digital image processing algorithms, that have been specifically optimized for the proposed architecture. Some of these algorithms can be used to detect and to track a set of previously acquired targets. Finally, the proposed solution has been proved to be an effective solution even when applied to real-world case studies, such as the detection and the tracking of test-tubes in a medical environment.

Intelligent Studios: Using Computer Vision to Control Tv Cameras
This paper demonstrates that automatic framing of TV shows is an interesting and tractable domain for both Computer Vision and Artiicial Intelligence. Our basic goal is to build intelligent robotic cameras (SmartCams) able to frame subjects and objects in a TV studio upon verbal request from a TV director. To cope with the problem of relating visual imagery to symbolic knowledge about the scene...
متن کاملApproximate World Models: Incorporating Qualitative and Linguistic Information into Vision Systems
Approxhate world models are coarse descriptions of the elements of a scene, and are intended to be used in the selection and control of vision routines in a vision system. In this paper we present a control architecture in which the approximate models represent the complex relationships among the objects in the world, allowing the vision routines to be situation or context specific. Moreover, b...
