British Machine Vision Association and Society for Pattern Recognition
BMVA Northern Chapter meeting for Friday Dec 11th. 1pm Room G725 in the
Stopford Building , University of Manchester , Oxford Road.
Vision and Robotics Research at the Ocean Systems Laboratory,
Heriot-Watt University
===========================================================
ABSTRACT: this talk is an introduction to the research of the OSL at
Heriot-Watt University, a long-standing centre of excellence in the UK
for subsea robotics. Recent and current projects span control of
remotely operated and autonomous vehicles (e.g., motion planning,
station keeping), sonar image processing (target identification, motion
analysis), video image processing (structure and motion reconstruction,
tracking, mosaicing, seabed classification), and subsea sonar
communications. Applications include both the industrial sector (e.g.,
inspection and maintenance of man-made installations) and scientific
data collection (e.g., detection of objects of biological or geological
interest, sediment or water column sampling).
This meeting is open to all interested parties, for further information
