| This is a superb textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in the field of mobile robotics. With a special emphasis on computation and algorithms, Dudek and Jenkin address a range of strategies for enabling robots to master problems of navigation, pose estimation, and autonomous exploration. While they concentrate on wheeled and legged mobile robots, they also discuss a variety of other propulsion systems with kinematic models developed for many of the more common locomotive stra....[more] |

| The authors relate and discuss the idea that perceptual processes can be considered at many levels. A phenomenon that appears at one level may not be the same as a superficially similar phenomenon that appears at a different level. Sections include vestibular processing, eye movement processing, processing during brightness perception, and levels of processing in spatial vision. The accompanying CD-ROM contains figures, videoclips, websites, etc., to enhance the reader's understanding. |

| The visual processes involved in moving, reaching, grasping, and playing sports are complex interactions. For example, the action of moving the head provides useful cues to help interpret the visual information. Simultaneously, vision can provide important information about the actions and their control. This becomes a reiterative process. This process, and the interactions between vision and action, are the foci of this volume. This book contains contributions from scientists who are leaders in....[more] |

| The advent of sensors capable of localizing portions of the brain involved in specific computations has provided significant insights into normal visual information processing and specific neurological conditions. Aided by devices such as fMRI, researchers are now able to construct highly detailed models of how the brain processes specific patterns of visual information. This book brings together some of the strongest thinkers in this field, to explore cortical visual information processing and ....[more] |

| Computational vision deals with the underlying mathematical and computational models for how visual information is processed. Whether the processing is biological or machine, there are fundamental questions related to how the information is processed. How should information be represented? How should information be transduced in order to highlight features of interest while suppressing noise and other artefacts of the image capture process? Computational Vision in Neural and Machine Systems addr....[more] |

| The world is divided into objects: things that are distinct from their backgrounds and that can move or be moved. Objects are food and prey and threats, as well as neutral items, and it is critical to be able to see them. How the form of an object is distinguished is one of the most basic, yet least understood, topics of research in vision perception. The object-defining system needs to operate in the real world, where objects and viewers move, and where the scene is cluttered, rarely offering a....[more] |

| It has become apparent that vision is not a passive process working on the retinal image like a film to record a perfect copy as the perception. Instead, higher-level cognitive processes such as expectancies, memories and experience play a critical, almost overriding role. This book is a review and summary of the tremendous advances that have been made in recent years on the effect of attention on visual perception. The book will appeal to vision scientists as well as to people involved in usin....[more] |

| All visual tasks, from the simplest computer graphics program to the most complex biological visual system, require an underlying representation of visual information. The structure or coding of this representation provides the framework for processing the information. Visual coding refers to the process of designing and implementing representations for the information required to perform visual tasks. Both the biological and computational communities have addressed the task of designing or infe....[more] |

| Spatial vision is that field of science that deals with the problem of inferring the structure of the world from vision. This problem can be divided into many separate tasks, such as extracting information about three-dimensional objects, or object recognition. This book is a collection of invited papers presented at the 1991 York Conference on Spatial Vision in Humans and Robots. From computational models to explicit biological models of spatial processing, to neural networks, these papers bri....[more] |
