CISE Research Instrumentation for Multi-Institutional Reseach in Active Vision

本次采购的是一款多自由度、高精度、重量轻的立体摄像头。另外三家机构也在共同研究中购买了同样的设备。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、多指手灵巧操作、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。宾夕法尼亚大学将购买设备，以支持多机构在机器人导航和操纵的主动视觉方面的共同研究。该联盟的其他成员包括罗切斯特大学、马里兰大学和马萨诸塞大学。每个机构将获得相同的高精度和高速的最先进的双目摄像机头，并将分享系统软件和应用软件的开发。

This award is to purchase a multiple degree of freedom, high precision, light weight stereo camera head. The same equipment is being purchased at three other institution 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, hands-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 Pennsylvania 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 Rochester, University of Maryland and the University of Massachusetts. Each institution will acquire the same stat-of-the-art binocular camera head of high precision and high speed, and will share in the development of systems software and applications software.
