Behavior-based control for an eye-head system

Much of the recent interest in active vision has focussed on the development of novel methods for controlling fast pan/tilt camera mounts, called eye-head systems. Simple real-time processing of input images coupled with fast control has enabled interesting system behaviors. This paper describes the ongoing development of behavior-based control methods for a miniature eye-head system. We first describe the eye-head hardware and image processing system. We then define and present approaches for behavior-based control of the eye-head system. Finally, we discuss results from the use of simple behaviors for verging two cameras on moving objects.
