ESPRIT COLLABORATIVE: Control of Perception in Active Vision

9303980 Bajcsy今年是一个为期三年的持续奖项的第一年，该奖项旨在支持四所美国机构(宾夕法尼亚大学、罗切斯特大学、马里兰大学和马萨诸塞大学)的研究人员与他们的欧洲同事合作，参与由ESPRIT资助的名为“愿景即过程”的研究项目。合作的目标是开发一种在主动视觉中感知控制的实用理论，同时汇集专业知识，避免不必要的重复工作。广泛的重点领域是开发新的物理和计算机硬件、概念框架和用于集成视觉/机器人系统的软件工具，其中包括主动控制的双目摄像头和用于影响外部世界的各种致动器。合作包括四个子领域：主动视觉中的感知控制，动态场景的解释，稳健的图像和场景测量，以及动态凝视控制和图像形成。将为每个分区创建一份用于信息交流的邮寄名单，举行科学会议，并组织技术和相关实验。两到三周的伙伴对伙伴访问将促进在特定主题上的密切合作。作为交换协议的一部分，美国博士生将在EEC实验室度过一段时间。双方都将受益于展示的实时主动视觉系统，以及为集成和控制实验开发的共同框架。这样的系统将扩大同一类问题中的实验种类和不同领域的应用范围。这些结果将通过计划出版一本关于理论和实验结果的书、期刊论文和在会议上的陈述来广泛传播。***

9303980 Bajcsy This is the first year of a three-year continuing award to support collaboration of researchers in four U.S. institutions (University of Pennsylvania, University of Rochester, University of Maryland, and University of Massachusetts) with their European colleagues engaged in the ESPRIT-funded research project entitled "Vision-As- Process ". The collaborative objective is to develop a practical theory of perception control in active vision, while pooling expertise and avoiding unnecessary duplication of effort. The broad areas of concentration are development of novel physical and computer hardware, conceptual frameworks, and software tools for integrated vision/robotic systems, which include an actively controlled binocular camera head and various actuators for affecting the external world. The collaboration covers four subareas: Control of perception in active vision, Interpretation of dynamic scenes, Robust image and scene measures, and Dynamic gaze control and image formation. For each subarea a mailing list for information exchange will be created, scientific meetings held, and techniques and associated experiments organized. Two to three week partner-to-partner visits will facilitate intense collaboration on the specific topics. US Ph.D. students will spend time in EEC laboratories as part of an exchange agreement. Both sides will benefit from a demonstrated real-time active vision system, and development of a common framework for integration and control experiments. Such a system will enlarge the variety of experiments within the same class of problems and the range of applications in different domains. The results will be made widely accessible, through planned publication of a book on the theoretical and experimental results, journal papers, and presentations at conferences. ***
