Promising directions in active vision

摘要

Active vision systems have mechanisms that can actively control camera parameters such as position, orientation, focus, zoom, aperture, and vergence (in a two-camera system) in response to the requirements of the task and external stimuli. They may also have features such as spatially variant (foveal) sensors. More broadly, active vision encompassesattention, selective sensing in space, resolution, and time, whether it is achieved by modifying physical camera parameters or the way data is processed after leaving the camera.
