Abstract

This paper presents our approach towards a humanoid vision system which realizes real human interaction in a real environment. Requirements for visual functions are extracted from a past work on human action recognition system. Then, our recent development of biologically inspired vision systems for human interaction is presented as case studies on how to choose and exploit biological models, mix them with engineering solutions, and realize an integrated robotic system which works in real time in a real environment to support human interaction. A binocular active vision system with foveated wide angle lenses, a real time tracking using velocity and disparity cues, a real-time multi-feature attentional system, and a human motion mimicking experiment using a humanoid robot are presented.
