Using Near-Field Stereo Vision for Robotic Grasping in Cluttered Environments [chapter]

Adam Leeper, Kaijen Hsiao, Eric Chu, J. Kenneth Salisbury
2014 Springer Tracts in Advanced Robotics  
By employing a 3D sensor from the perspective of the gripper we gain information about the object and nearby obstacles immediately prior to grasping that is not available during head-sensor-based grasp  ...  In this work, we propose a simple but robust approach to both pre-touch grasp adjustment and grasp planning for unknown objects in clutter, using a small-baseline stereo camera attached to the gripper  ...  Acknowledgments This work was financially supported in part by Disney Research. Using Near-Field Stereo Vision for Robotic Grasping in Cluttered Environments  ...

Pedestrian collision avoidance systems: a survey of computer vision based recent studies

T. Gandhi, M.M. Trivedi
2006 2006 IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Conference  
The paper reviews various approaches based on cues such as shape, motion, and stereo used for detecting pedestrians from visible as well as non-visible light sensors.  ...  The literature review is also condensed in tabular form for quick reference.  ...  However, separating objects from background clutter is a difficult problem for computer vision. Furthermore, vision becomes less effective during dark conditions.  ...

Pedestrian Detection for Intelligent Vehicles Based on Active Contour Models and Stereo Vision [chapter]

C. Hilario, J. M. Collado, J. Ma Armingol, A. de la Escalera
2005 Lecture Notes in Computer Science  
Active contour models are used to detect and track people from the images taken by an on-board vision system, performing contour extraction in sequential frames.  ...  The use of visual information is a promising approach to cope with the different appearances of pedestrians and changes of illumination in cluttered environments.  ...  Acknowledgements This work was supported in part by the Spanish government under CICYT grant TRA2004-07441-C03-01.  ...

Object Learning through Interactive Manipulation and Foveated Vision

Robert Bevec, Ales Ude
2013 2013 13th IEEE-RAS International Conference on Humanoid Robots (Humanoids)  
We compare two methods for validating the hypotheses in the foveal view and experimentally show the advantage of foveated vision compared to standard active stereo vision that relies on camera systems  ...  This enables a more thorough investigation of a smaller area of the scene, which is seen in higher resolution.  ...  We compared different methods for validating the hypotheses in the foveal view and showed the advantages of foveal vision compared to to the standard active stereo vision with a fixed field of view for  ...

Monocular and Binocular People Tracking [chapter]

Chong Luo, Wenjun Zeng
2020 Computer Vision  
Definition People tracking is the process of estimating and recording the locations of target people in 2D image sequences (monocular computer vision) or 3D spaces over time (binocular computer vision)  ...  It may also refer to the process of estimating and recording the pose (or joint locations) of target people.  ...  Usually, depth information can be estimated from a pair of stereo images.  ...

A Probabilistic Framework for Multi-modal Multi-Person Tracking

Neal Checka, Kevin Wilson, Vibhav Rangarajan, Trevor Darrell
2003 2003 Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Workshop  
In this paper, we present a probabilistic tracking framework that combines sound and vision to achieve more robust and accurate tracking of multiple objects.  ...  In a cluttered or noisy scene, our measurements have a non-Gaussian, multimodal distribution. We apply a particle filter to track multiple people using combined audio and video observations.  ...  These tracking methods can be very effective in simple scenes where only one object is present. Some tracking systems build spatio-temporal representations of moving regions in a scene.  ...

What Vision Can, Can't and Should Do [chapter]

Michael Zillich
2014 Cognitive Systems Monographs  
A set of specialised solutions in different sub areas, however impressive individually, does not constitute a unified theory of vision.  ...  In this article we review some of the recent successes, which seem to indicate that many aspects of vision have indeed been solved and that the way should now be paved for robotic systems that can operate  ...  But the vivid impression of being situated in a 3D scene does not suffer significantly when being deprived of stereo vision.  ...
