Issues in robot vision

摘要

In this paper, we discuss certain issues regarding robot vision. The main theme will be the importance of the choice of information representation. We will see the implications at different parts of a robot vision structure. We deal with aspects of pre-attentive versus attentive vision, control mechanisms for low level focus of attention, and representation of motion as the orientation of hyperplanes in multdimensional time-space. Issues of scale will be touched upon, and finally, a depth-from stereo algorithm based on guadrature filter phase is presented.
