We present two empirical studies of visual search in dynamic 3D visualisations of large, randomly ordered, photo collections. The aim is to assess the possible effects of geometrical distortions on visual search effectiveness, efficiency and comfort, by comparing the influence of two perspective representations of photo collections on participants’ performance results and subjective judgments.

This paper broadly describes a novel approach to representing the three-dimensional world in a two-dimensional image. Rather than just relying on the physical behavior of light rays projected onto a surface, as is the case with most current imaging technologies, we are attempting to create a new imaging technology that emulates the subjective appearance of the world as perceived via the human visu...Show More
Visual servoing as an important implementation of machine intelligence has been widely studied. While in the visual servoing control task of multi-joint manipulator, the task often fails due to the occurrence of camera retreat phenomenon. The present paper considers the combinations of the image based visual servoing and model predictive control (MPC) scheme to control manipulator. The visual serv...Show More
Aiming at the problems of blurred contours and incomplete overall distribution shape after 3D high-definition image registration, this paper proposes a multi-dimensional visual communication down-projection transformation image registration simulation. Matching points require the image to satisfy peripolar geometric constraints after correction. On the basis of the above, this paper uses 3D printi...Show More

This work is set to design pose-free visual feedback control laws. Our contribution is linked to improving 3D pose-free visual servoing strategy using 2D predictions of visual features’ trajectories. Given a set rigid body characterized by a set of 3D point features, our proposed visual servoing strategy enhanced with predictive elements is based on computing the following sample time positions of...Show More
The authors discuss the detection and recognition of visual objects. They deal with recognizing objects in natural scenes. Two assumptions are vital in the whole process: that the object representation is equivalent to some 2D function, and that the stability and sensitivity of the representation are preserved and are of equal importance. A truncated multiresolution pyramid neural net is used.<>Show More
The sources of visual information that must be present to correctly interpret spatial relations in images, the relative importance of different visual information sources with regard to metric judgments of spatial relations in images, and the ways that the task in which the images are used affect the visual information's usefulness are discussed. Cue theory, which states that the visual system com...Show More
This paper focuses on visual servoing from a special target using a vision sensor with an unique projection center. The target is a sphere marked with two points on its surface. Using a spherical projection model, a new minimal set of six features is proposed for this target. Spherical moments are exploited to compute the new set on the image of the sensor. Using the new set, a classical control m...Show More

In this paper, we take up the long-standing problem of how to recover 3-D shapes represented by a 2-D image, such as the image on the retina of the eye, or in a video camera. Our approach is biologically grounded in a theory of how the human visual system solves this problem, focusing on shapes that are mirror symmetrical in 3-D. A 3-D mirror-symmetrical shape can be recovered from a single 2-D or...Show More
This paper proposes a new image-based adaptive neural controller for the position tracking control of the underactuated aerial mobile robots without the realtime position measurement. To realize this point, a relationship between the position tracking error and the image projection error is first established. One challenging difficulty in stabilization is the fact that the dynamics of the aerial r...Show More
The present research is aimed to: (i) characterize the ability of human visual system to define the objects' slant on the base of combination of visual stimulus characteristics, that in general are uncertain and even conflicting. (ii) evaluate the influence of human age on visual cues assessment and processing; (iii) estimate the process of human visual cue integration based on the well known Norm...Show More
The guide holes are widely used in aircraft components machining and assembly but it is difficult to perform the visual inspection methods because of their various structural forms and inconsistent positions. To solve this problem, the paper proposes a guide holes detection method for plane parts based on binocular vision. Firstly, Harris angular points detection is used to identify the feature po...Show More
This paper presents a new and novel controller based on uncalibrated image-based visual servoing(IBVS) manipulator system with actuator fuzzy dead-zone constrain. Compared with the existing dead-zone model, the slope of dead-zone is a fuzzy value in this paper. To eliminate the harmful effect caused by fuzzy dead-zone constrain, the fuzzy adaptive controller is constructed by defuzzifying the fuzz...Show More

Measuring 3D shape of the silicon-mold of microfluidic chips is very inconvenient because its height is only about 80 mum. There are a few of researches focus on the 3D optical micro-visual-measuring systems at present. A novel rotational-stereo-based micro measurement system (RSMMS) is developed for 3D measurement of silicon-mold used for reproduction of polymer microfluidic chips. Related measur...Show More
This paper considers the fusion of hysteresis constraint with the image-based visual servoing(IBVS) manipulator system. Compared with the conventional IBVS system, we fully consider the unknown hysteresis nonlinearity which widely exists in the real mechanical systems. To eliminate the effect arisen by the actuator hysteresis constraint, we propose a novel adaptive algorithm to estimate the unknow...Show More
This paper presents a novel adaptive controller for image-based visual servoing of robots with an eye-in-hand camera using angle and distance features. The key idea lies in the development of the depth-independent interaction matrix and the proposal of an adaptive algorithm for estimating the unknown geometric parameters of the features in the 3-D space. The Lyapunov theory is used to prove the as...Show More
Modeling visual attention-particularly stimulus-driven, saliency-based attention-has been a very active research area over the past 25 years. Many different models of attention are now available which, aside from lending theoretical contributions to other fields, have demonstrated successful applications in computer vision, mobile robotics, and cognitive systems. Here we review, from a computation...Show More
This paper first presents how the 2-Dimension (2-D) Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) based display format can be enhanced to display 2-D scene in 3-Dimension (3-D) perspective view while utilizing the standard 2-D SVG graphics library. This is then further extended to include 3-D objects that, when added on top of the 2-D scene, enable a full 3-D projection of the scene. The 3-D objects are encoded ...Show More
Increasing the field of view of camera is an important issue practical in robot vision. One solution is to consider catadioptric camera that allows a 360° field of view. In this paper we propose a 3D model tracking algorithm that allows a fast and reliable tracking of 3D objects within central catadioptric images. The proposed approach relies on the virtual visual servoing approach. All the modeli...Show More
We consider a problem about navigation of a mobile robot with a camera in indoor environment. A new visual control method using a vanishing point of parallel lines at both sides of the corridor is introduced, and we call this the vanishing point visual control method. This method gives a lot of useful information on the design. Therefore we can't need a priori information except both widths of the...Show More
