Summary on Grant Application Form
Zoom is a process which is highly desirable in surveillance systems and is part of the language of film and television. Although many active cameral platforms have been built with zoom lenses, and there have been studies of the off-line effects of zoom, almost no studies have reported their use within a real-time active vision system, probably because zoom interacts perniciously with every part of the visuo-control loop.The proposed programme of work aims to advance our existing work on simultaneous tracking and structure recovery to allow simultaneous zoom, both by identifying zoom-invariant and isolating zoom-variant effects in the loop, in both early and intermediate level visual processing and in the control processing.The programme consists of three workpackages designed to address the objectives stated above.
