Robot vision
de Reinhard Klette, Shmuel Peleg, Gerald Sommer
On behalf of the organizerswe would like to welcome all participants to the “Robot Vision 2001” workshop. Our objective has been to bring together - searchersinrobotvision,andtopromoteinteractionanddebate. Participants oftheworkshopcomefromEurope,US,theMiddleEast,theFarEast,andof coursefromNewZealand. Fifty-twopapersweresubmittedtotheworkshop,andeachpaperwasth- oughlyreviewedbyatleastthreereviewers. Seventeenpaperswereselectedfor oral presentation, and seventeen papers were selected for poster presentation. There were no invited technical papers, to give all participants the sense of equalopportunity. Thetechnicalscopeoftheworkshopisverywide,andincludespresentations onmotionanalysis,3Dmeasurements,calibration,navigation,objectrecog- tion,andmore. Thescheduleoftheworkshopwasthereforepreparedtoallow, inadditiontothetechnicalpresentation,ampletimefordiscussionsandint- action.^ Wehopethatinteractionamongresearchersofsuchdi?erentareas,yet allpartofrobotvision,willresultinbetterunderstandingandresearchofthe robotvisionarea.
