Secure remote access with inter-operatability for operating a robot can be successfully achieved using the web services provided in the NET framework. The complete design of the machine discussed in this paper is made on the NET framework. The server which operates the robot is configured to US. The algorithm for obstacle detection is coded on a different server using the NET framework. By using web services, the robot can be accessed by other servers. These web services are consumed by the server on which the robot executes. A proxy is created on this server. The whole control is given in the form of a series of web pages which can be accessed by any web browser. However in order to input parameters and control the robot, authentication is required. The user provides authentication credentials which are matched with the existing information on the data base. After authentication, the user proceeds further to control the robot. The security and reliability of remote access is provided by the components that come with the web services namely, SOAP, WSDL and Proxy.

Colored shadows are observed when two differently colored lights are combined in twilights. When both lights add to an equi-energy white 'balanced' spectrum, the hues of the shadows show regular opponent colors, being reciprocals of the colors of the lights. When a white and a colored light in a twilight add to an 'unbalanced' spectrum, the hues of the shadows result from the same laws of opponency and reciprocity, but the eyes see "what they have optically calculated" instead of seeing "what really (physically) there is". At adaptation to the colored light, unbalanced states in physics become physiologically re-balanced by diffractive-optical chromatic resonance, guaranteeing color constancy at variations of illuminants. Colored shadows can be interpreted as serial products of diffractive 3D :grating-optical von Laue interferences and of optical cross-correlations between local and global information in the human eye. The human eye's hardware, with diffractive-optical multi-layer gratings in aperture and image space, represents an illuminant-adaptive diffractive-optical RGB Color Sensor guaranteeing color space normalization towards RGB equilibrium states (RGB white norms) in reciprocal grating space.

Robust techniques for object recognition, image segmentation and pose elimination are essential for robotic manipulation and grasping. We present a novel approach for object recognition and pose estimation based on color cooccurrence histograms (CCHs). Consequently, two problems addressed in this paper are: i) robust recognition and segmentation of the object in the scene, and ii) object's pose estimation using an appearance based approach. The proposed recognition scheme is based on the CCHs used in a classical learning framework that facilitates a "winner-takes-all" strategy across different scales. The detected "window of attention" is compared with training images of the object for which the pose is known. The orientation of the object is estimated as the weighted average among competitive poses, in which the weight increases proportional to the degree of matching between the training and the segmented image histograms. The major advantages of the proposed two-step appearance based method are its robustness and invariance towards scaling and translations. The method is also computationally efficient since both recognition and pose estimation rely on the same representation of the object.

Autonomous mental development (AMD) of robots opened a new paradigm for developing machine intelligence, using neural network type of techniques and it fundamentally changed the way an intelligent machine is developed from manual to autonomous. The work presented is a part of SAIL (self-organizing autonomous incremental learner) project which deals with autonomous development of entire humanoid robot with vision, audition, manipulation and locomotion. The major issue addressed is the challenge of high dimensional action space (5 to 10) in addition to the high dimensional context state space (hundreds to thousands and beyond), typically required by an AMD machine. This is the first work that studies a high dimensional (numeric) action space in conjunction with a high dimensional perception (context state) space, under the AMID mode. Two new learning algorithms, Direct Update on Direction Cosines (DUDC) and High-Dimensional Conjugate Gradient Search (HCGS), are developed, implemented and tested. The convergence properties of both the algorithms and their targeted applications are discussed. Autonomous learning of speech production under reinforcement learning is studied as an example.

In this paper, a new non-parametric generalized formulation to statistical pressure snakes is presented. We discuss the shortcomings of the traditional pressure snakes. We then introduce a new generic pressure model that alleviates these shortcomings, based on the Bayesian decision theory. Non-parametric techniques are used to obtain the statistical models that drive the snake. We discuss the advantages of using the proposed non-parametric model compared to other parametric techniques. Multi-colored-target tracking is used to demonstrate the performance of the proposed approach. Experimental results show enhanced, real-time performance.

This paper presents a basic theory of intelligent photogrammetry and corresponding physically independent agent systems named Photogrammetron. intelligent photogrammetry is a fusion of ideas, techniques and applications from digital photogrammetry, activevision and intelligent agents, aiming at developing highly automatic and intelligent photogrametric systems. The tenet of intelligent photogrammetry is that photogrammetry is a nonlinear process for which a full automation, if indeed required, is only possible if and only if the system is an autonomous and intelligent agent system. In its basic form, photogrammetron refers to a stereo photogrammetric system which is designed to possess an architecture of intelligent agent, a physical structure of qualitative and active vision, and a complete functionality of quantitative photogrammetry. In a broader sense, photogrammetron may have three physically different forms: I – coherent stereo photogrammetron, II – separated stereo photogramemtron and III – multi-camera network photogrammetron. Principal applications of photogrammetron include: photogrammetry-enabled robots, intelligent close-range photogrammetry, intelligent video surveillance, real-time digital videogrammetry. The agent architecture of photogrammetry consists mainly of five components: imaging perception, scene beliefs and models, missions and desires, intentions and planning, action and control. The photogrammetric visual information processing comprises seven major parts: motion camera calibration and relative orientation, optical flow computation and object tracking, stereo focus of attention and vergence control, stereo motion image sequence matching and correspondence maintenance, object structure from motion, multi-object tracking and recognition. While a complete realization of photogrammetron design will take time to appear, this paper only intends to outline a basic theory and address fundamental theoretical feasibility and challenging problems.

The logical structure of robot vision systems is introduced. It can be used as a basis for designing such systems. Both sensor data fusion and knowledge representation in a vision system may be broken down into four hierarchical levels where at each level knowledge representation in the form of partial models and data fusion complement each other. Multi-processor architectures supporting this type of structure are introduced as a particularly efficient basis for robot vision systems. Practical implementation is given.
