This paper presents a control architecture for building integrated vision systems. This system
is based on a multi-agent approach which allows the definition of an open and flexible …

Robot vision often needs to execute different tasks simultaneously using different camera
motions. Conventional robot vision allocates its resources, a camera and computing …

In a Cooperative Distributed Vision system a group of communicating Active Vision Agents
(AVA, in short, ie real time image processor with an active video camera and high speed …

Individual cues from visual modules are fallible and often ambiguous. As a result, only
integrated vision systems can be expected to give a reliable performance in practice. The …

While the strategy of active vision is well established in early vision, it is not widespread in
high-level vision. We suggest an approach for integrating aspects of active vision into a …

This paper describes a purposive computer vision system for visually guided tasks and a
multi-agent architecture used to model it. In this architecture, the vision system's purpose is …

The growing interest in surveillance in public, military and commercial scenarios is
increasing the need to create intelligent or automated distributed visual surveillance …

Robot vision is very useful for correcting the absolute position error during position control of
a robot hand. However it still has difficulties in practical use. The objective of the authors' …

In this paper we present a distributed control architecture engaged in purposive computer
vision tasks. In this context, the vision system's purpose is translated into a set of behaviors …

This paper describes a vision chip architecture for high-speed vision systems that we
propose. The chip has general-purpose processing elements (PEs) in massively parallel …
