This paper presents a comparative study and survey of model-based object-recognition algorithms for robot vision. The goal of these algorithms is to recognize the identity, position, and orientation of randomly oriented industrial parts. In one form this is commonly referred to as the “bin

Automation and calibration for robot vision systems

In contrast to the traditional approach, visual recognition is formulated as one of matching appearance rather than shape. For any given robot vision task, all possible appearance variations define its visual workspace. A set of images is obtained by coarsely sampling the workspace. The image set

In this paper we will discuss certain issues regarding robot vision. We will deal with aspects of pre-attentive versus attentive vision, control mechanisms for low level focus of attention, representation of motion as the orientation of hyperplanes in multdimensional time-space. Issues of scale

for general-purpose robotic vision systems. We report its use in static image datasets and object track-ing datasets. We show that networks trained with clustering learning can outper-form large networks trained for many hours on complex datasets. 1

this article, we propose a new kind of model for robot vision, the so called plenoptic model, a model that can be acquired fully automatically. This is regarded in this article as learning. The key idea is to collect a sequence of images from objects or scenes using a hand--held camera

This abstract outlines the algorithms and robot hardware used in the UBC robot competing in the Semantic Robot Vision Challenge (SRVC), held at the AAAI’07 conference in Vancouver, Canada. Successfully completing the SRVC

We present a head-mounted, stereo-vision based navigational assistance device for the visually impaired. The headmounted design enables our subjects to stand and scan the scene for integrating wide-field information, compared to shoulder or waist-mounted designs in literature which require body

Modeling of welding process by robotic vision is basically a theoretical problem, means mainly on physical problem, and also technological problem. To obtain a good model of welding process by robotic vision, theoretical researches are required but also constant experimental researches of several

In recent years, robot vision became an attractive scientific discipline. From a technological point of view, its aim is to endow robots with visual capabilities comparable to those of human beings. Although there is considerable endeavour, the progress is only slowly proceeding, especially
