PennEyes: A Binocular Active Vision System

PennEyes is an experimental, binocular, three-dimensional tracking system. The goal was to design a high performance and extensible system using only off-the-shelf components thereby allowing limited resources to be concentrated on the development of vision and control algorithms rather than on the design of individual components. The capabilities of PennEyes will be reviewed as well as the rationale for its design.
