6: Vision
( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)
Vision is one of the information-rich sensor system both humans and robots have available. Processing the wealth of information that is generated by vision sensors is still a key challenge, however. The goal of this chapter is to introduce
- images as two-dimensional signals,
- provide an intuition of the wealth of information hidden in low-level information,
- introduce basic convolution and threshold-based image processing algorithms.
