Fast Localisation is a basic function within the mobile robotics. Beside the odometrie, mainly image sensors are used. This paper shows a short overview of the image sensors used for it. Outgoing from the 2D, 3D laser scanner, over 2D mono camera and 2D stereo camera, up to the omni-directional 2D camera are described problems, which appear in recording and modelling of the robot environment wi...

This paper demonstrates the use of image-space constraints for key frame interpolation. Interpolating in image-space results in sequences with predictable and controlable image trajectories and projected size for selected objects, particularly in cases where the desired center of rotation is not fixed or when the key frames contain perspective distortion changes. Additionally, we provide the us...

In automated surveillance systems with multiple cameras, the system must be able to position the cameras accurately. Each camera must be able to pan-tilt such that an object detected in the scene is in an vantage position in the camera’s image plane and subsequently capture images of that object. Typically, camera calibration is required. We propose an approach that uses only image-based inform...

Motion blur is a phenomenon which is corrupting images when, any motion occurs between the camera viewpoint and the captured scene during the acquisition. Rarely this can be described with a shift invariant operator although this is a common assumption in the literature. In a motion blurred image, the Point Spread Function (PSF) of each pixel is determined by the relative motion between the cam...

Pseudo-local vision system, which simulates visual information derived from an on-board camera of mobile robot based on a ceiling camera image, is proposed. It consists of a vision server and a client module which communicate with each other in the SoccerServer-like protocol. An image processing module for the on-board camera in the control program is replaced with this system. The simulated vi...
