UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS ACTIVE VISION SYSTEM
University of Illinois Active Vision System was developed to implement active stereo
algorithms. It used conventional digital cameras with computer controlled focus, zoom
and aperture; vergence angle (“eye”) movements, and up-and-down and left-and-right
(“neck”) movements; and an optional placement on a mobile robot for “body” movement for
dynamic, closed loop, perception and navigation The more compact, commercial, active-vision
systems by Helpmate Robotics and other companies became available subsequently.
