Active vision with two differentiated visual fields

摘要

A vision system is proposed that has two differentiated visualfields, i.e. peripheral and central, and the fixation point to the sceneis actuated actively. The proposed vision system is aiming at an activevision system that recognizes environment actively by gazing at eachobject of interest. To build this system, the authors developed a visionsystem with two CCD cameras of which fixation points are controlled by acomputer. A fundamental vision model is proposed that consists of fiveindependent neural network modules. Each module is educated individuallyand processes visual information independently. To signify thefeasibility of the proposed vision model, some fundamental experimentswere carried out
