CISE Postdoctoral Program: Real-time Viewpoint Control, Modeling and Reconstruction

9503996布朗在这个项目中，工作将集中在(1)建立一个使用PUMA或Sarcos操纵器来控制相机位置的主动视觉系统，以及(2)使用和扩展现有的从弯曲物体遮挡轮廓的图像中恢复形状的技术。由于摄像机以连续的方式围绕对象移动，因此摄像机位置控制和建模将被建模为两个连续的、相互依赖的同时发生和实时操作的过程。摄像机位置控制的工作将集中在实时控制摄像机的位置，并尽可能少地施加摄像机和机械手的校准要求。建立模型的工作将集中在开发能够处理遮挡轮廓曲线的连通性变化的实时曲线跟踪方法，以及实施和评估现有的轮廓形状技术。这项研究将有助于更好地理解移动摄像机来建立具有复杂曲面几何形状的曲面对象模型的实际问题。***

9503996 Brown In this project the effort will be concentrated on (1) building an active vision system that uses PUMA or SARCOS manipulators to control the camera's position, and (2) using and extending existing techniques for recovering shape from images of a curved object's occluding contour. Because the camera moves around the object in a continuous fashion, camera position control and model-building will be modeled as two continuous, interdependent processes that occur simultaneously and operate in real-time. The work on camera position control will focus on controlling the camera's position in real-time, and on imposing as few camera and manipulator calibration requirements as possible. The work on model-building will focus on developing real-time curve tracking methods that can handle the connectivity changes of occluding contour curves, and on implementing and evaluating existing shape-from-contour techniques. This research will provide a better understanding of the practical issues in moving a camera to build models of curved objects with complex surface geometry. ***
