Abstract

This paper introduces an information-based methodology for view selection that actively exploits prior knowledge about the objects to be found in a scene. The methodology is used to implement an active recognition strategy which effectively puts prior constraints from the object database into the gaze control (planning) loop. Theoretical results are presented and discussed along with promising experimental data.
