AbstractA scene exploration which is quick and complete according to current task is the foundation for most higher scene processing. Many specialized approaches exist in the driver assistance domain (e.g. car recognition or lane marking detection), but we aim at an integrated system, combining several such techniques to achieve sufficient performance. In this work we present a novel approach to this integration problem. Algorithms are contained in hiera...

AbstractThis paper’s intention is to present a new approach for decomposing motion trajectories. The proposed algorithm is based on nonnegative matrix factorization, which is applied to a grid like representation of the trajectories. From a set of training samples a number of basis primitives is generated. These basis primitives are applied to reconstruct an observed trajectory. Hence, the reconstruction information can be used for classification. Furthe...

AbstractIn this paper we propose a system architecture that extends the current state-of-the-art in computational visual attention by incorporating the biological concept of ventral attention. According to recent findings regarding the neurobiological foundations of attention, there exist two separate but interacting attention systems in the human brain: the dorsal attention system and the ventral attention system. As opposed to the well-known computatio...

AbstractMovement generation that is consistent with observed or demonstrated behaviour is an efficient way to seed movement planning in complex, high dimensional movement systems like humanoid robots. We present a method for learning potential-based policies from constrained motion data. In contrast to previous approaches to direct policy learning, our method can combine observations from a variety of contexts where different constraints are in force, to...

AbstractInspired by biological findings, we present a system that is able to robustly identify a large number of pre-trained objects in real-time. In contrast to related work, we do not restrict the objects' pose to characteristic views but rotate them freely in hand in front of a cluttered background. We describe the essential system's ingredients, like prototype-based figure-ground segmentation, extraction of brain-like analytic features, and a simple ...
