Overview:

This short course will survey basics and recent research results in visual servoing

Specific emphasis will be placed on:
  • basic issues
  • 2D tracking
  • 3D tracking
  • Image based VS
  • Position based VS
  • Hybrid and partitioned approaches

    • Clientele:

    Graduate students in computer science, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering and related disciplines. .

    Outline

    This is the current plan for the course.
    Links point to relevant papers.
