This paper characterizes how well the modular neuro-fuzzy controller, MoNiF, can perform in robotic applications by testing it in a race-car simulator. The performance of this controller is compared with that of a neural network controller (NNC) and the best programmed car (the ideal car). During the phase of learning from the ideal car, MoNiF reaches its stable performance (when it demonstrates good control) at lap 300; while the NNC requires 700 laps. Without further learning and when competing in the same learning track, MoNiF completes 20 laps of the track about 24 seconds later than the ideal car but 29 second ahead of the NNC car. However, when they all are competing in different unfamiliar tracks, MoNiF performs comparably to the ideal car, while NNC has completely lost its ability to drive. Observing the behaviors of NNC and MoNiF, we conclude that MoNiF learns to refine the output of expert rules and thus can drive in most tracks. Meanwhile NNC learns to drive in a particular track but loses its generality for other tracks. It is shown that this modular control method, equipped with the pretrained knowledge of only few simple expert rules, learns much faster than a NNC without any apriori knowledge.

Eye-tracking for detection of driver fatigue

Eye-tracking for detection of driver fatigue

International Conference on Intelligent Transportation

作者： M. Eriksson N.P. Papanikotopoulos Artificial Intelligence Robotics and Vision Laboratory Department of Computer Science University of Minnesota Minneapolis MN USA University of Minnesota Minneapolis MN US

In this paper, we describe a system that locates and tracks the eyes of a driver. The purpose of such a system is to perform detection of driver fatigue. By mounting a small camera inside the car, we can monitor the face of the driver and look for eye-movements which indicate that the driver is no longer in condition to drive. In such a case, a warning signal should be issued. This paper describes how to find and track the eyes. We also describe a method that can determine if the eyes are open or closed. The primary criterion for the successful implementation of this system is that it must be highly nonintrusive. The system should start when the ignition is turned on without having the driver initiate the system. Nor should the driver be responsible for providing any feedback to the system. The system must also operate regardless of the texture and the color of the face. It must also be able to handle diverse conditions, such as changes in light, shadows, reflections, etc.

This paper describes a novel approach to real-time vehicle following. A scheme, called "symmetry axis detection and filtering based on symmetry constraints", is proposed and has been implemented. This scheme incorporates many elements of our research efforts in sensor-based control of mobile robots and manipulators. The proposed algorithm detects and tracks the rear portion of the exterior of a leading vehicle via a camera mounted on a vehicle that belongs to a platoon. Our scheme uses the symmetry property of the shape of most vehicles. In particular, our technique takes advantage of the stable contour symmetry instead of the intensity symmetry. An algorithm that employs a voting technique is proposed in order to detect the vertical symmetry axis of the leading vehicle. A filtering method based on symmetry constraints is performed to eliminate the pixels which do not contribute to the leading vehicle's contour. As a result of the filtering, a distinct symmetric contour is obtained. Robustness and real-time performance of the symmetry-based scheme are greatly enhanced by using an adaptive processing window, the local symmetry properties, and a filtering procedure.

In many industrial applications such as autonomous vehicle guidance and robotic manipulations, reliable 3-D informations must be extracted from the scene in order to provide a robust description of the environment in which the system evolves. This paper presents the TRID sensor, a simple, fast, robust and accurate 3-D sensing device based on the Biris technology. TRID is limited to a lateral resolution of one point. Experimental results show that an accuracy better than 0.15% can be obtained for the depth component (Z) of 3-D points at a distance of 1.3 meter from a wooden black painted beam surface with an acquisition rate of 8.5 points/s.

A variety of techniques in machine vision involve representation of objects by using their shape skeleton. In this paper we present a method to obtain the skeletal shape of binary images in the presence of both boundary noise and noise occurring inside object regions. We propose to obtain the skeletal shape of such images by a modified version of the Kohonen self-organizing map, implemented in a batch processing mode. The modifications allow the map to adapt to the input shape distribution. At each iteration, a competitive Hebbian rule is used to progressively compute the Delaunay triangulation of the shape. Information from the triangulation augments the map topology to yield the final skeletal shape. The batch mode implementation of the self-organizing process, allows our approach to compare very favourably, in terms of computational time, with the traditional flowthrough implementations. Encouraging experimental performance has been obtained on a variety of shapes under varying signal to noise ratios.

computer vision AND IMAGE UNDERSTANDING 1996年第1期64卷 97-110页

In this paper we present a computational approach for extracting three-dimensional structure of controllable resolution, depth of field, and accuracy, all made available at real-time speeds, This approach utilizes the spatial and the temporal gradients of the streams of images acquired using an actively controlled camera, Depending on the requirements of a particular task, appropriate parameters such as disparity value sought, interframe camera displacement, and number of frames in a stream are chosen to control the resolution, depth of field, and accuracy, The acquisition and processing of the image stream are done in real time on a pipeline architecture based processor. Extensive experiments are presented to demonstrate the system's accuracy, controllability of depth of field and resolution, and ability to perform successfully in a variety of scenes. The system operated with no latency between image acquisition and processing. The total acquisition and processing time in these experiments is in the range from 0.27 to 1.56 s. The depth results have an accuracy of 85% to 92%. (C) 1996 Academic Press, Inc.

ISBN: (纸本)081867282X

A novel paradigm for the synthesis of convergent-axis stereo geometries is presented. This paradigm incorporates constraints that represent task-oriented properties that can be easily derived in many applications of stereo-ranging, particularly those involving manipulation. Given these properties, a solution that selects the set of optimal design parameters, in the sense of accuracy, under the given constraints is presented. Results of this algorithm are discussed and analyzed in terms of the optimality of the minimum-area technique used in the derivation. © 1996 IEEE.

Numerous edge operators, kernels and directional filters have been proposed, and edge detection is a well-established and mature area of computer vision. Despite this, in developing a real-time, pyramid-based imaging system, inadequacies in the standard, commonly used techniques have lead us to implement an alternate set of simple directional filters that combine to act as an edge contrast operator fulfilling the familiar requirements for: (1) speed, and (2) a high localization of response. Within our application, this operator set is proving superior to the classical kernels at preserving the key requirement (2) as the operator's edge response energies are propagated up to pyramid levels of lower resolution for further recursive processing. Our scheme is shown to provide an unified response to both step and line edge types, and acceptable responses in the presence of anticipated noise levels. The method is direct and of low complexity and general utility.

IEEE International Conference on robotics and Automation (ICRA)

作者： C.E. Smith N.P. Papanikolopoulos Artificial Intelligence Robotics and Vision Laboratory Department of Computer Science University of Minnesota Minneapolis MN USA

Many researchers have turned to sensing, and in particular computer vision, to create more flexible robotic systems. computer vision is often required to provide data for the grasping of a target. Using a vision system for grasping presents several issues with respect to sensing, control, and system configuration. This paper presents some of these issues in concert with the options available to the researcher and the trade-offs to be expected when integrating a vision system with a robotic system for the purpose of grasping objects. The paper includes experimental results from a particular configuration that characterize the type and frequency of errors encountered while performing various vision-guided grasping tasks. These error classes and their frequency of occurrence lend insight into the problems encountered during visual grasping and into the possible solution of these problems.
