Dynamics of manipulators. Overview of image processing, pattern recognition, image formation, binary images, edge detection, image segmentation, introduction to textured image analysis, optical flow, depth from stereo, shape from shading, shape from motion, shape representation techniques, issues in object recognition and case studies of some vision systems. Integrated adaptive force and position control using feedback from machine vision and touch sensing systems. Design emphasis on accurate tracking accomplished with minimal algorithm complexity. Must be a senior in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or Electrical Engineering.
Student groups design a significant computer-based project.
Groups work independently with interaction among other groups via interface specifications and informal meetings.
