Visual homing with a pan-tilt based stereo camera Paramesh Nirmal and Damian M. Lyons Department of Computer Science, Fordham University, Bronx, NY 10458 ABSTRACT Visual homing is a navigation method based on comparing a stored image of the goal location and the current image (current view) to determine how to navigate to the goal location. It is theorized that insects, such as ants and bees, employ visual homing methods to return to their nest [1]. Visual homing has been applied to autonomous robot platforms using two main approaches: holistic and feature-based. Both methods aim at determining distance and direction to the goal location. Navigational algorithms using Scale Invariant Feature Transforms (SIFT) have gained great popularity in the recent years due to the robustness of the feature operator. Churchill and Vardy [2] have developed a visual homing method using scale change information (Homing in Scale Space, HiSS) from SIFT.

Segmented reflectors fulfill these needs, and composed from mass production mirror facets they are inexpensive and lightweight. However, as the overall image is a superposition of the individual facet images, alignment remains a challenge. Here we present a simple, yet extendable method, to align a segmented reflector using its Bokeh. Bokeh alignment does not need a star or good weather nights but can be done even during daytime. Bokeh alignment optimizes the facet orientations by com- paring the segmented reflectors Bokeh to a predefined template. The optimal Bokeh template is highly constricted by the reflector’s aperture and is easy ac- cessible.

The camera's extremely wide field of view (71°) and 12x optical/12x digital zoom auto focus lens make it ideal for small- to mid-sized rooms. The camera features fast and silent pan/tilt/zoom capabilities and is controllable via VISCA protocol (RS-232 and RJ45 [IP] connectors). The drive motor noise is less than 35dB, making it perfect for noise-restricted environments like hospitals, classrooms, and meeting rooms. Available in a silver housing, its all-in-one compact and lightweight design makes it easy to install in a variety of locations.

  • Detecting Rule of Simplicity from Photos
    Detecting Rule of Simplicity from Photos Long Mai, Hoang Le, Yu-Chi Lai Feng Liu Yuzhen Niu National Taiwan University of Portland State University Portland State University Science and Technology Portland, OR 97207-0751 Portland, OR 97207-0751 #43, Sec. 4, Keelung Rd., fl[email protected] {mtlong, hoanl, Taipei 106, Taiwan yuzhen}@cs.pdx.edu [email protected] ABSTRACT Simplicity refers to one of the most important photography composition rules. Simplicity states that simplifying the im- age background can draw viewers’ attention to the subject of interest in a photograph and help them better compre- hend and appreciate it. Understanding whether a photo respects photography rules or not facilitates photo quality assessment. In this paper, we present a method to automat- ically detect whether a photo is composed according to the (a) Homogenous or empty background rule of simplicity. We design features according to the defi- nition, implementation and effect of the rule. First, we make use of saliency analysis to infer the subject of interest in a photo and measure its compactness. Second, we segment an image into background and foreground and measure the ho- mogeneity within the background as another feature. Third, when looking at an image created with the rule of simplic- ity, different viewers tend to agree on what the subject of interest is in this photo. We accordingly measure the consis- (b) Out-of-focus background (c) Cluttered background tency among various saliency detection results as a feature. Figure 1: Rule of simplicity.
