VISATEC - Vision-based Integrated Systems Adaptive to Task and Environment with Cognitive Abilities

The overall objective of the project is to design a learning-based cognitive vision architecture and to implement essential generic components for the automatic adaptation to underlying tasks and environments. The objectives include adequate representation schemes for multi-dimensional images and object shapes, reliable feature extraction and multi-cue integration, dynamic adaptation and learning mechanisms, and their specific use for the detection of 3D objects in images and attentive object/situation analysis. These novel techniques will be exploited in the sample real-world application Skillful Robot Arm, which should be equipped with high-level cognitive competences such as object removal from bins, and must rely on robust behaviours of the cognitive vision system as a whole and consider real-time constraints.
