چکیده

Building a general-purpose, real-time active vision system completely based on biological models is a great challenge. We apply a number of biologically plausible algorithms which address different aspects of vision, such as edge and keypoint detection, feature extraction, optical flow and disparity, shape detection, object recognition and scene modelling into a complete system. We present some of the experiments from our ongoing work, where our system leverages a combination of algorithms to solve complex tasks.

Future study of Description System Architecture Approaches with Emphasis on Strategic Management

Systems Architecture is a generic discipline to handle objects (existing or to be created) called systems, in a way that supports reasoning about the structural properties of these objects. Systems Architecture is a response to the conceptual and practical difficulties of the description and the design of complex systems. Systems Architecture is a generic discipline to handle objects (existin...

Towards Binocular Active Vision in a Robot Head

This paper presents the first results of an investigation and pilot study into an active, binocular vision system that combines binocular vergence, object recognition and attention control in a unified framework. The prototype developed is capable of identifying, targeting, verging on and recognizing objects in a highly-cluttered scene without the need for calibration or other knowledge of the ...

Embedded Early Vision Systems: Implementation Proposal and Hardware Architecture

We present our approach towards a smart sensor, with embedded processing resources to perform early vision tasks. Our work is based on the active vision paradigm, adapting the perceptual aspects of biological vision to artificial systems. The FPGA/DSP-based hardware platform developed as prototype of a smart camera is presented, and a design methodology to reduce implementation time and complex...

Towards a unified reasoning theory: An evaluation of the Human Reasoning Module in Spatial Reasoning

Lately two modules which aim to improve the modeling of human reasoning have been introduced into the ACT-R cognitive architecture – the Human Reasoning Module (HRM) and the Pre-Attentive and Attentive Vision Module (PAAV). This is a first attempt to create a domain-specific infrastructure as an extension of a cognitive architecture. The HRM defines the basic functionality of two different theo...

A Reactive Vision System: Active-Dynamic Saliency

We develop an architecture for reactive visual analysis of dynamic scenes. We specify a minimal set of system features based upon biological observations. We implement feature on a processing network based around an active stereo vision mechanism. Active rectification and mosaicing allows static stereo algorithms to operate on the active platform. Foveal zero disparity operations permit attende...
