Vision-Based Navigation and Recognition

Abstract

Research conducted under this contract dealt with the following topics: (1) Navigation: Navigational competencies, visual interception, robot control in navigational tasks, navigational functionalities, landmark-based localization, visibility in terrain, road following, and mobility in discrete spaces. (2) Motion analysis: flow-based methods, correspondence-based methods, and other approaches. (3) Recovery: Statistical reliability, stereo, texture, shading, and pose. (4) Invariants -- both geometric and other types. (5) Human faces: Analysis of images of human faces, including feature extraction, face recognition, compression, and recognition of facial expressions. Other topics studied under the contract include fingerprints and documents, coding, diffusion, search, line fitting, matching and registration, parallel image analysis, camera motion control, and function-based object recognition.
