Most simulation and animation systems utilized in robotics are concerned with simulation of the robot and its environment without simulation of sensors. These systems have difficulty in handling robots that utilize sensory feedback in their operation. In this paper, a new design of an environment for simulation, animation, and visualization of sensor-driven robots is presented. As sensor technology advances, increasing numbers of robots are equipped with various types of sophisticated sensors. The main goal of creating the visualization environment is to aid the automatic robot programming and off-line programming capabilities of sensor-driven robots. The software system will help the users visualize the motion and reaction of the sensor-driven robot under their control program. Therefore, the efficiency of the software development is increased, the reliability of the software and the operation safety of the robot are ensured, and the cost of new software development is reduced. Conventional computer-graphics-based robot simulation and animation software packages lack of capabilities for robot sensing simulation. This paper describes a system designed to overcome this deficiency.

IEEE International Conference on Image Processing

作者： G. Ravichandran M.M. Trivedi Computer Vision and Robotics Research Laboratory Electrical and Computer Engineering Department Computer Vision and Robotics Research Laboratory Electrical and Computer Engineering Department University of Tennessee Knoxville TN USA

Motion information is extracted by identifying the temporal signature associated with the textured objects in the scene. We present a new computational framework for motion perception. Our methodology considers spatiotemporal frequency (STF) domain analysis to extract the optical flow information. First, we show that a sequence of image frames can be used to extract the motion parameters for the different regions in a dynamic scene using the basic Fourier transform properties in the STF analysis approach. A detailed analytical description of this model to interchangably extract motion and depth parameters and results to highlight their salient properties are presented.< >

This paper describes the development of an integrated autonomous multi-robot system, where two heterogeneous robots exhibit coordinated convoying behavior. Coordination is accomplished without any communication but by visual observation. An active perception system uses visual servoing to track the leading vehicle to determine its heading and relative distance. A fuzzy logic based real-time motion controller uses the heading to control the steering and relative distance and velocity information to adjust the speed to let the trailing robot smoothly follow the leader. A novel correlation algorithm based on minimum noise and correlation energy (MINACE) filter is used for object tracking. The MINACE based tracker is adaptive and when the tracking degrades due to the change in appearance of the leading robot a new filter is synthesized online to replace the old one. The performance and robustness of the convoying system has been verified in a series of extensive laboratory trials.< >

作者： C. Gourley M. Trivedi Computer Vision and Robotics Research Laboratory Electrical and Computer Engineering Department University of Tennessee Knoxville TN USA

This paper describes one aspect of a project whose goal is to move a robot in an unknown environment and find pipes to decommission. While moving through the environment a low level map, in the form of an occupancy grid, along with detailed location of pipes in the environment are obtained. This paper deals only with the low level "reflex" of obstacle avoidance that is performed while the robot moves along its path as well as some of the higher level tasks involved in path planning and robot motion in order to negotiate through a hazardous environment. The overall high level interaction with the system is made as simple and user friendly as possible using a graphical interface to control high level tasks. All low level communications and processing are transparent. The robot used for experimentation is a wheeled mobile platform equipped with many different sensors including ultrasonic range sensors and cameras. A quick and efficient obstacle avoidance algorithm has been developed using sixteen ultrasonic range sensor and one infrared proximity sensor.< >

Texture segmentation using circular-Mellin operators

Texture segmentation using circular-Mellin operators

作者： G. Ravichandran M.M. Trivedi Computer Vision and Robotics Research Laboratory Electrical and Computer Engineering Department University of Tennessee Knoxville TN USA

Texture is an important preattentive cue in region-based segmentation of images. In this paper, we discuss the use of circular-Mellin features for segmenting an image into homogenous regions. The circular-Mellin operators represent the spectral decomposition of the image scene in the polar-log coordinate system and are invariant to both scale and orientation of the target. Coupled with the unique shift invariance property of the correlator architecture, these circular-Mellin operators can be used for rotation- and scale-invariant feature extraction. We note that while both these feature extractors have similar functional form to the Gabor functions, the distortion-invariant characteristics of the circular-Mellin operators make them preferable for texture segmentation. Segmentation results to demonstrate their salient properties are presented.< >

IEEE Workshop on Visualization and Machine vision

作者： S.B. Marapane M.M. Trivedi Computer Vision and Robotics Research Laboratory Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering University of Tennessee Knoxville TN USA

A binocular robot head, BETH, with ten degrees of freedom (DOF) has been developed for research in active vision. To complement BETH, a graphical simulation and visualization environment has also been developed. The objective of building the graphical system is to create a comprehensive design tool to design and study the dynamic behavior of sensory-motor systems and their interactions with the environment. This environment integrates perception and motor actions and features complete kinematic simulation of BETH, it's sensors and it's workspace. We demonstrate the utility of this environment in systematic and extensive experimental development of computational frameworks and algorithms for 3D active vision systems which utilizes multiple passive depth cues (stereo, vergence, and depth from focusing).< >

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, the inter-frame 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 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 the image acquisition and processing. The total acquisition and processing time in these experiments is in the range of 0.27 to 1.56 sec. The depth results have an accuracy of 85% to 92%.< >

This paper presents a Radon transform-based approach to the detection of linear features in images characterized by high noise levels. This approach is based on the localized Radon transform where the intensity integration is performed over short line segments rather than across the entire image. The algorithm, referred to as the feature space line detector (FSLD) algorithm, is tested on synthetic images of linear features with very high noise levels. The results of this testing demonstrate the algorithm's robustness in the presence of noise, as well as its ability to detect and localize linear features that are significantly shorter than the image dimensions or that display some curvature.< >

A real-time correspondence based tracking algorithm is detailed. The system uses a pipeline processor, a general purpose processor, a camera and a display. The Minimum Noise and Correlation Energy (MINACE) filter is used in the tracking algorithm as it provides a good combination of speed, accuracy and flexibility for the targeted hardware system. The system designed is fast and tracking is accomplished at a rate of 15 hz. The system is adaptive and does not rely on a previous model of the object; the training image for filter synthesis is acquired from previous image frames and the filter is synthesized online to accommodate 3-D variations of the target being tracked. The system tracks an object consistently as is demonstrated by the low deviation of the results in the evaluation. The correlation filter-based tracking algorithm has proved to be useful in our research in cooperative mobile robots. A visual servoing system has been implemented using this tracking algorithm for convoying of multiple mobile robots.< >
