Chapter 4: Robot Vision and Image Processing
Sections
Navigate through the learning materials and practice exercises.
What we have learnt
- Robot vision allows machines to perceive and interpret their visual environment, enhancing navigation and interaction.
- Object detection, segmentation, and recognition are critical for robots to interact effectively with their surroundings.
- Visual servoing and visual SLAM provide essential functionalities for motion control and environment mapping.
Key Concepts
- -- Object Detection
- Identifies the presence and location of objects in an image, often outputting bounding boxes and class labels.
- -- Visual SLAM
- Simultaneous Localization and Mapping using visual sensors to reconstruct 3D environments and estimate the robot's pose.
- -- Deep Learning
- A subset of machine learning employing neural networks, significantly improving the capabilities of robotic vision tasks such as classification and segmentation.
- -- Stereo Vision
- A technique that mimics human binocular vision using two cameras to calculate depth from the disparity between left and right images.
