Abstract
(Also cross-referenced as CAR-TR-722)
Our work on Active Vision has recently focused on the
computational modelling of navigational tasks, where our investigations
were guided by the idea of approaching vision for behavioral systems in
form of modules that are directly related to perceptual tasks. These
studies led us to branch in various directions and inquire into the
problems that have to be addressed in order to obtain an overall
understanding of perceptual systems. In this paper we present our views
about the architecture of vision syst ems, about how to tackle the design
and analysis of perceptual systems, and promising future research
directions. Our suggested approach for understanding behavioral vision to
realize the relationship of perception and action builds on two earlier
approac hes, the Medusa philosophy 13] and the Synthetic approach [15 The
resulting framework calls for synthesizing an artificial vision system by
studying vision corr petences of increasing complexity and at the same
time pursuing the integration of the percept ual components with action
and learning modules. We expect that Computer Vision research in the
future will progress in tight collaboration with many other disciplines
that are concerned with empirical approaches to vision, i.e. the
understanding of biolo gical vision. Throughout the paper we describe
biological findings that motivate computational arguments which we believe
will influence studies of Computer Vision in the near future.
