Abstract:
This talk will define and motivate the problem of robotic vision and discuss some recent progress at the Australian Centre for Robotic Vision. This includes component technologies such as deep learning for computer vision and motion, middleware, and end-to-end systems for applications such as agriculture, environmental remediation and asset inspection.
