9780521472784: Real-Time Computer Vision (Publications of the Newton Institute, Series Number 4)

Synopsis

Computer vision is a rapidly developing and highly interdisciplinary field of computer science and engineering in which researchers are attempting to create vision algorithms that can analyze dynamic images at real-time rates. Real-time vision is needed for automated systems to keep pace with real-world activities and thus control or respond appropriately to them. This is the first book devoted to the subject of real-time computer vision, and it includes articles by some of the leading researchers in the world. The focus is on algorithms for interpreting visual input at video rates and on using the gathered information for decision-making and control. Topics covered include: shape recovery; model-based vehicle tracking; active exploration; tracking heads and eyes; controlling robot behavior; visual monitoring; controlling distributed robots. The book will be of interest to students, researchers and engineers involved in the design and programming of visually guided systems.
