Abstract

This paper introduces an application of the concept of real time active vision for object tracking. A closed loop control system is used to gather an image sequence through a CCD camera and to estimate the next position of a robot head. The paper describes the robot head mechanical design, the control system, the communication protocol and the head reactivity algorithms which, are in charge of camera placement. Experimental results are reported
