CISE Research Instrumentation: Multi-Institutional Researchin Active Vision

该奖项是对购买多自由度、高精度、轻质立体摄像云台的奖励。在一项共同的研究工作中，其他三个机构也购买了相同的设备。研究课题包括凝视控制和目标跟踪、立体和运动分析、基于地标的导航、物体和环境模型的自动获取、手眼协调、多指手的灵活操作、实时感知和操作。系统软件、算法和子系统将在各机构之间共享。马萨诸塞州大学将购买设备，以支持多机构共享的主动视觉机器人导航和操纵研究工作。该联盟的其他成员包括宾夕法尼亚大学、马里兰大学和罗切斯特大学。每个机构将获得相同最先进的高精度和高速度的双目摄像头，并将分享系统软件和应用软件的开发。

This award is for the purchase of a multiple degree of freedom, high precision, light weight stereo camera head. The same equipment is being purchased at three other institutions in a shared research effort. Research topics include gaze control and target tracking, stereo and motion analysis, landmark-based navigation, automatic acquisition of object and environmental models, hand-eye coordination, dextrous manipulation with multi-fingered hands, real-time perception and manipulation. System software, algorithms and subsystems will be shared across the institutions. The University of Massachusetts will be purchasing equipment to support a multi-institutional shared research effort in active vision for robot navigation and manipulation. Other members of the consortium are the University of Pennsylvania, University of Maryland and the University of Rochester. Each institution will acquire the same state-of-the-art binocular camera head of high precision and high speed, and will share in the development of systems software and application software.
