Visualization

Abstract

From the Publisher:Anyone who has tried to swat a fly, watched a kangaroo bounding through dense forest, or marvelled at a falcon swooping to catch a field mouse knows that the animal kingdom has evolved visual systems that are fast, reliable, and precise. This book explores the possibilities of applying principles derived from the study of simple natural systems - such as those possessed by insects - to the design of novel algorithms for vision and new kinds of robots. The various chapters, written by scientists ranging from leading experimental biologists to experts in computer vision, present fresh, multidisciplinary approaches to the construction of machines that 'see'.
