Abstract

In this paper, we present a technique for the derivation of depth from feature points on a target's surface using the Controlled Active Vision framework. We use a single visual sensor mounted on the end-effector of a robotic manipulator to automatically select feature using adaptive control techniques. Movements of the manipulator produce displacements that are measured using a Sum-of-Squared Difference (SSD) optical flow. The measured displacements are fed into the controller to alter the path of the manipulator and to refine the depth estimate.
