Offer of Research Topic

Offer from	University	Hokkaido University
	Faculty/Department/Institute	Division of Systems Science and Informatics, Graduate School of Information Science and Technology
	Group Name	System Sensing and Control
Research Theme		Three dimensional Tracking by Stereo Vision
Brief Explanation		Intelligent robot systems should have smart functions in many kinds of real world tasks. Visual tracking is one of the functions. Stereo visions is a promissing approarch to realize them. In our lab, many kinds of robust algorithms for object search or matching have been proposed and applied to many robotic visual functions. In this study, some algorithms may be implemented and tested by use of real robot systems.
Research Steps		1. Literature survey (one month) 2. Implementing some robust stereo visions(one month) 3. By use of them, implementing visual tracking functions(two months) 4. Evaluating them(one month)
Period		Five months, but possible to extend to a 10-month project.
Necessary Background, Knowledge, Skills		Fundamental knowledge about image processing. Computer programming skills (C++, MatLab).
