Abstract

A new intelligent stereo vision sensor system was studied for the motion and depth control of unmanned vehicles. A new bottom-up saliency map model for the human-like active stereo vision system based on biological visual process was developed to select a target object. If the left and right cameras successfully find the same target object, the implemented active vision system with two cameras focuses on a landmark and can detect the depth and the direction information. By using this information, the unmanned vehicle can approach to the target autonomously. A number of tests for the proposed bottom-up saliency map were performed, and their results were presented.
