Summary on Grant Application Form
The research is aimed at developing the vision competences and control architectures necessary to provide visual guidance of (for example) an autonomous industrial vehicle through the use of 3D scene descriptions recovered from passive stereo vision. These competences include navigation by beacon tracking, following and docking, obstacle detection, and path planning. The formal objectives are (1) To construct a vision system software architecture capable of supporting multiple region-of-interest window tracking and the concurrent distributed asynchronous processing of vision algorithms with different temporal operating constraints, and (2) The construction of a very high performance vision engine to support the system architecture using transputers and special purpose frame rate hardware.
