Research Abstract |
In this study we consider the cooperative distributed processing (multi-agent system) as a system architecture to realize robust and flexible image understanding systems, and demonstrate its effectiveness by developing practical cooperative distributed image understanding systems. The results of the study can be summarized as follow : 1. The types of cooperative distributed processing for image understanding are classified into the following categories : (a) Distributed Sensing Systems (b) Distributed Analysis Systems ((b-1) Functional Distribution (b-2) Algorithm Distribution (b-3) Cooperative Spatial Reasoning). 2. A multi-agent region segmentation system, where each image region is regarded as an agent 3. A fixed viewpoint pan-tilt camera to acquire ominidirectional images and a camera calibration software to model an off-the-shelf active camera as a fixed viewpoint pan-tilt-zoom camera 4. A real time object detection and tracking system using a fixed viewpoint pan-tilt-zoom camera 5. A cooperative object tracking system with multiple distributed fixed viewpoint pan-tilt-zoom cameras 6. A cooperative distributed behavior recognition from multiple video data 7. A wide area object tracking system consisting a group of distributed observation stations without common visual fields
