Proceedings ArticleDOI
Low level recognition of human motion (or how to get your man without finding his body parts)
R. Polana,Randal C. Nelson +1 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that repetitive motion is such a strong cue, that the moving actor can be segmented, normalized spatially and temporally, and recognized by matching against a spatiotemporal template of motion features.
Journal ArticleDOI
Obstacle avoidance using flow field divergence
Randal C. Nelson,J. Aloimonos +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that a quantity termed the directional divergence of the 2-D motion field can be used as a reliable indicator of the presence of obstacles in the visual field of an observer undergoing generalized rotational and translational motion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection and Recognition of Periodic, Nonrigid Motion
TL;DR: It is shown, that repetitive motion is such a strong cue, that the moving actor can be segmented, normalized spatially and temporally, and recognized by matching against a spatio-temporal template of motion features.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Experimental evaluation of uncalibrated visual servoing for precision manipulation
TL;DR: An experimental evaluation of adaptive and non-adaptive visual servoing in 3, 6 and 12 degrees of freedom (DOF), comparing it to traditional joint feedback control finds a trust-region-based adaptive visual feedback controller is very robust and redundant visual information is valuable.
Journal ArticleDOI
Qualitative recognition of motion using temporal texture
Randal C. Nelson,R. Polana +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that certain statistical spatial and temporal features that can be derived from approximations to the motion field have invariant properties, and can be used to classify regional activities such as windblown trees, ripples on water, or chaotic fluid flow, that are characterized by complex, nonrigid motion.
