Title: Vision Systems
Subtitle: Applications
Description: Computer Vision is the most important key in developing autonomous navigation systems for interaction with the environment. It also leads us to marvel at the functioning of our own vision system. In this book we have collected the latest applications of vision research from around the world. It contains both the conventional research areas like mobile robot naviga- tion and map building, and more recent applications such as, micro vision, etc.
The fist seven chapters contain the newer applications of vision like micro vision, grasping using vision, behavior based perception, inspection of railways and humanitarian demining. The later chapters deal with applications of vision in mobile robot navigation, camera cali- bration, object detection in vision search, map building, etc.
We would like to thank all the authors for submitting the chapters and the anonymous re- viewers for their excellent work. Sincere thanks are also due to the editorial members of Advanced Robotic Systems publica- tions for all the help during the various stages of review, correspondence with authors and publication.
We hope that you will enjoy reading this book and it will serve both as a reference and study material.
