Robust Vision Technology of Intelligent Systems for Real-world Applications

Lessons learned from failures are that“robustness” of computer vision is important. Firstly, robust against “illumination changes”. Camera parameters, “ISO gain, aperture (=F#), exposure” determine the image quality. It is designed mainly for Photography (not for Robot),correlated non-linearly and sensitive to illumination changes.So it needs a very simple, but effective way to control the camera parameters for “Robots”. Secondly, robust against “outliers”. A novel robust PCA model for outliers is necessary due to bad weather. According to the real-time“see-through” car system, cars are equipped with many cameras and sensors, vehicle to vehicle (V2V) communication are built for autonomous and assisted driving, making other cars transparent using cameras and sensors via wireless network. Thirdly, robust against “complex environments”. By deep learning model, the system has the object recognition function. It can detect object(DET), and make classification and localization (CLS-LOC). Lastly, robust against “difficult conditions”. Sensor fusion approach is important for high-quality 3D modeling. In a word, robustness of computer vision solutions is a very important key for the real-world applications of intelligent systems (automobile, robots), and it involves camera input enhancement ,real-time outlier handling, deep-learning, sensor fusion and many other issues.
