3D Active Vision on a Robotic Head

  • Chapter
A Few Steps Towards 3D Active Vision

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Information Sciences ((SSINF,volume 33))

  • 158 Accesses

Abstract

The next step is now to verify whether these general ideas can be easily implemented, considering an effective active visual system. This is the goal of this second chapter in which we describe a mechanical system which has been designed to facilitate the fixation and tracking of 3D objects.
