Detecting Motion from a Moving Platform; Phase 1: Biomimetic Vision Sensor.

摘要

The University of Wyoming has formed a robotics initiative consisting of three distinct parts. 'Biomimetic Vision Sensor,' (AFRL-RX-TY-TR- 2011-0096-01) develops a novel computer vision sensor based upon the biological vision system of the common housefly, Musca domestica. 'Lightweight, Low Power Robust Means of Removing Image Jitter' (AFRL-RX-TY-TR-2011-0096-02) develops an optimal platform stabilization mechanism for motion detection and target tracking using recent advances in the area of Parallel Kinematic Machines (PKMs). 'Unification of Control and Sensing for More Advanced Situational Awareness,' (AFRL-RX-TY-TR-2011-0096-03) develops a multi-purpose planning scheme that effectively solves patrolling and constrained sensor planning problems for a large-scale multi-agent system.
