An area of computer vision is active vision, sometimes also called active computer vision. Computer vision is the science and technology of machines that see An active vision system is one that can manipulate the viewpoint of the camera(s) in order to investigate the environment and get better information from it. [1]
Examples of active vision systems usually involve a robot mounted camera [2], but other systems have employed human operator mounted cameras (AKA "wearables"). Applications include automatic surveillance, SLAM, route planning [3], etc. Simultaneous localization and mapping ( SLAM) is a technique used by Robots and Autonomous vehicles to build up a map within an unknown environment while at In the DARPA Grand Challenge most of the teams used LIDAR combined with active vision systems to guide driverless vehicles across an off road course. The DARPA Grand Challenge is a prize competition for Driverless cars sponsored by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA the most prominent research LIDAR ( Li ght D etection a nd R anging is an optical remote sensing technology that measures properties of scattered light to find range and/or
