<title>High-speed low-latency portable visual-sensing system</title>

Abstract

My work in the field of computer vision has focused on building high speed visual tracking systems to provide position feedback for the control of unstable tasks. In order to make a juggling robot or a robotic helicopter stable, three qualities are essential -- high update rate, low latency, and decent accuracy and resolution. We want to put multiple vision systems on small robotic devices with limited payloads. Therefore the system must be very small, light, and cheap. However, we allow marking of the environment so the sophistication of the vision task can be extremely low. These constraints guided the development of AVS (which, due to lack of a better name, stands for Anne's Vision System).
