Real-Time Visual Behaviors with a Binocular Active Vision System Jorge Batista Paulo Peixoto Helder Araujo ISR - Institute of Systems and Robotics Dep. of Electrical Engineering - University of oimbra 3000 OIMBRA - PORTUGAL batista,peixoto,helder@isr.uc.pt Abstract An active vision system has to enable the implementation of reactive visual processes and of elementary visual behaviors in real time. Therefore the control architecture is extremely important. In this paper we discuss a number of issues related with the implementation of a real-time control architecture and describe the architecture we are using with our camera heads. Even though in most applications a fully calibrated system is not required, we also describe a methodology for calibrating the camera head, taking advantage of its degrees of freedom. These calibration parameters are used to evaluate the performance of the system. Another important issue of the operation of active vision binocular heads is their integration into more complex robotic systems. We claim that higher levels of autonomy and integration can be obtained by designing the system architecture based on the concept of purposive behavior. At the lower levels we consider vision as a sensor and integrate it in control systems (both feed-forward and servo loops) and several visual processes are implemented in parallel, computing relevant measures for the control process. At higher levels the architecture is modeled as a state transition system. Finally we show how this architecture can be used to implement a pursuit behavior using optical ow. Simultaneously vergence control can also be performed using the same visual processes. 1 Introduction Until a few years ago, the main goal of vision was to recover the 3D structure of the environment. According to this paradigm vision is a recovery problem being its goal the creation of an accurate 3D description of the scene (shape, location and other properties) which then would be given to other cognitive modules (such as planning or reasoning). Systems based on this approach typically used one or two static cameras (or, equivalently only considered static points of view, without the possibility of changing the viewpoint). Image acquisition, in this framework, is passive. Instead of trying to nd general solutions for the vision modules we can consider the problem of vision in terms of an agent that sees and acts in its environment ([1], [2]). An agent can be dened as a set of intentions (or purposes) which translate into a set of behaviors [3]. The visual system can then be considered as a set of processes working in a cooperative manner to achieve various behaviors ([6], [7]). This is a paradigm known as active/purposive vision. Within this framework we consider that the system is active because it has control over the image acquisition process and acquires images that are relevant for what it intends to do. The control over the image acquisition process enables the introduction of constraints that facilitate the extraction of information about the scene [2]. Therefore our goal when using the active vision system is not the construction of a general purpose description. The system only needs to recover partial information about the scene. The information to be extracted and its representation have to be determined from the tasks the system has to carry out (its purpose). Vision is considered as part of a complex system that interacts with the environment [4]. Since only part of the information contained in the images needs to be extracted, the visual system will operate based on a restricted set of behaviors (sets of perceptions and actions). By considering vision within this framework, it can be used in real time to control a more complex robotics system such as a mobile platform or a manipulator. At the control level, information extracted from the images is used, as much as possible, to drive the various control signals. ext we describe the architecture we have implemented based on the application of these principles. We will also describe an application developed based on these principles. A real-time gaze control using optical ow is described. 2 A omplex Active Vision System In order to experiment with visual behaviors and to study active vision issues (inspired by biological implementations and in particular by the human visual system) we decided to build a multi-degrees of freedom (MDOF) robot head [8]. We call it the MDOF active vision head (see g. 1). Other groups have built heads and demonstrated them in several applications. At the University of

A complex head was also built at KTH [9] using stepper motors. At the University of Oxford a head was also used [12] to demonstrate the use of image motion to drive saccade and pursuit. 2.1 Mechanical and Optical Structure The binocular head developed by ourselves has a high number of degrees of freedom (see table 1). In addition to the common degrees of freedom for camera heads (neck pan, neck tilt and independent vergence for each of the eyes), this head includes the swing movement of the head neck, independent tilt for each eye, baseline control, cyclotorsion of the lenses and the ability of adjusting the optical center of the lenses (OA). In a real world environment the range of conditions that a camera may need to image under, be it focused distance, spatial detail, lighting conditions or radiometric sensitivity, can often exceed the capabilities of a camera with a xed parameters lens. To adapt the imaging conditions the camera system requires lenses whose intrinsic parameters can be changed in a precise and fast controllable manner. ew motorized lenses have been developed to enable this head to accommodate the optical system in real time (25 images per second, with very good precision (see g. 1)). These lenses have controllable zoom, focus and iris and they use small harmonic drive D motors with encoder feedback information. With such performances (see table 2), the lens is able Precision Range Velocity eck Pan 0:0036 [?110 : : : + 110 ] 180 =s eck Swing 0:0036 [?27:5 : : : + 27:5 ] 180 =s eck Tilt 0:0036 [?32 : : : + 32 ] 360 =s Eye Pan 0:0036 [?45 : : : + 45 ] 360 =s Eye Tilt 0:0031 [?20 : : : + 20 ] 330 =s yclotorsion 0:0031 [?25 : : : + 25 ] 330 =s OA 8nm [0 : : : 80]mm 1mm=s Baseline 20nm [137 : : : 287]mm 5mm=s Table 1: Mechanical structure characteristics of the MDOF active vision system to make continuous, small optical adjustments required by many algorithms in near real time with excellent precision. Qualitative improvements in lens performances increase the advantages of active vision techniques that rely on controlled variations of intrinsic parameters. 2.2 System Architecture The MDOF active vision robot head is controlled by one host computer with a Pentium PU (166Mhz) and a PI Matrox Meteor frame-grabber P board. ontrol Module Right Eye R G B RGB PI Matrox Meteor Red Green Blue Image Processing D-AT 100 D-AT 100 D-AT 100 Pentium - 166Mhz Left Eye Optical Degrees of Freedom Mechanical Degrees of Freedom Figure 2: The MDOF system Architecture A modular multi-axis motion controller was used to control all degrees of freedom of the head. This modular system consists of a motherboard where up to six daughterboards or modules can be connected. The motherboard is based on a 32-bit 80960 RIS PU. On-board Multitasking executes up to 10 independent programs or background tasks simultaneously without interrupting motion control. Multiple boards can be built into a single system, when more than six modules are required. Three boards are used to control the 18 degrees of freedom of the robot head. Each D servo controller module that was plugged in on the motherboard contains a trapezoidal velocity pro- le generator and a digital PID compensation lter. Each module is a self-contained intelligent controller. The image acquisition is performed by an RGB PI Matrox Meteor Board. Each one of the monochrome cameras is connected to an input of the RGB frame grabber.

Pure Rotation over c Figure 3: Pure Rotation around some axis The motors are controlled by fully parallel processes. The parameters of these processes can be changed on the y. Visual behaviors are dened by processes running on the main PU of the Master unit. These processes decompose the visual behaviors into elementary visual processes. It is also possible to have dierent elementary visual processes implemented on both images, in parallel. 3 Optical alibration Despite the fact that in many cases we only need weakly or partially calibrated systems, we still need for several reasons, to know the calibrations parameters of the system. These will enable us to be sure of what exactly is happening while implementing a process or behavior or they may provide us with the parameters required by a specic process or algorithm. Therefore, and in order to have a fully usable tool, we decided to develop a calibration method for our active vision head. 3.1 The Pure-Rotation alibration Method The basic idea of the optical calibration method used is very simple. We based our approach on the use of feature correspondences from a set of images where the camera has undergone pure rotation [8]. Given any pair of images obtained by a camera which undergoes pure rotation, if the intrinsic camera parameters and the angle and axis of rotation are known, one can compute where the feature points from one image will appear in the second image. If there is an error in the intrinsic parameters, the features in the second image will not coincide with those computed from the rst image. This is the main observation that allows us to use pure rotation to obtain some of the intrinsic camera parameters. Let us assume that the camera is rotated in a rigid world environment around some axis (see g. 3). Also assume the existence of a camera coordinate system located at the lens optical center and the axis viewing along the optical axis of the lens. A 3D point P c (x c ; y c ; z c ) in the camera coordinate system will move after rotation to a point Pc(x 0 0 c ; y0 c ; z0 c) through the matricial relationship P 0 c = R P c = 2 4 r 11 r 12 r 13 r 21 r 22 r 23 r 31 r 32 r 33 3 5 Pc : (1) Using the perspective projection pin-hole geometry the 3D camera point P 0 c projects to the undistorted image point p 0 u(x 0 u ; y0 u) where x 0 u = f x x 0 c z 0 c yu 0 = f yc 0 y zc 0 = f r 11x c + r 12 y c + r 13 z c r 31 x c + r 32 y c + r 33 z c = f r 21x c + r 22 y c + r 23 z c r 31 x c + r 32 y c + r 33 z c : (2) Multiplying equations 2 by f=z c and substituting x u = f x (x c =z c ) and y u = f y (y c =z c ) results x 0 u = f x r 11 x u + r 12 y u + r 13 f x r 31 x u + r 32 y u + r 33 f x y 0 u = f y r 21 x u + r 22 y u + r 23 f y r 31 x u + r 32 y u + r 33 f y : (3) Observing these last two equations, we can conclude that the position of the point in the image after pure rotation depends only on the intrinsic camera parameters, the rotation matrix and the location of the point in the image before the rotation. The 3D point coordinates are not required in the case of pure rotation. Since after rotation we have a pair of images, we have chosen to minimize the sum of squared distances between the feature points in the image obtained after rotation and those computed from the initial image and using the pure rotation model described above, summed over all the feature points of each pair of images. To be more precise, the intrinsic parameters can be obtained using pairs of images taken with the camera rotated at various angles (see g. 4). The relative angles of rotation are measured precisely. orresponding features in each pair of images are found and their pixels coordinates are extracted. There is no special reason to detect the same

number M of features in each image, but this is what we did in practice. We dene the cost function: E = M k=1 n=1 x k f n 2? xk f nrot 1;2 2 + yf k 2? yk n 2 f nrot 1;2 (4) where (x k f nroti;j ;yf k nroti;j) are the coordinates of (x k f ni ; yf k ni ) after rotation from image i to image j in each pair. ombining the cost function with equations 3 and dening the image points on the frame-buer plane the cost function E can now be dened by E = where M k=1 n=1 2 2 x k f? x0k n 2 f? c n x 2 + yf k? y0k n 2 f? c n y 2 x 0k f = r 11 (x k k f? c n x) + r 12 (y 1 f k? c n y)k?1 + r 13 f 1 x k x n xf 2 x r 31 (x k f? c n x) + r 32 (y k 1 f? c n y)k?1 + r 33 f x k x 1 y 0k f n 2 = k yf y r 21 (x k f n 1? c x)k + r 22 (y k f n 1? c y) + r 23 f y k y r 31 (x k f n 1? c x)k + r 32 (y k f n 1? c y) + r 33 f y k y The task is now to nd the intrinsic parameters of the camera (f x k x ; f y k y ; k; c x ; c y ) by a straightforward nonlinear search, where f x k x, f y k y represent the focal lenght of the lens in pixels, k represent the aspect ratio and c x, c y represents the image center coordinates. A rst guess value for these parameters is required for the nonlinear search. See [8] for a detailed explanation of the whole active calibration process. bivariate polynomials. The general formula for a n th order bivariate polynomial is BP (foc p ; zoom p ) = n n?i i=0 j=0 a ij foc i p zoomj p (5) and the number of coecients required by the polynomial is = (n + 1)(n + 2)=2. Using these functionals two main relationships were modelled with direct inuence in the auto-focusing mechanism implemented. They modelled the relationship between the focus and zoom motor settings and the eective focal length of the lens f, and the relationship between focus and zoom motor settings and focused target depth D: f = BP (foc p ; zoom p ) D = BP (foc p ; zoom p ): (6) The focused target depth is measured using stereo triangulation from verged foveated images. The eective focal length of both eye lenses is computed and both images were focused using the Fibonacci maximum search procedure of Tennengrad focus criterion. 4 Implementation of Visual Behaviors In order to demonstrate the architecture, we have implemented some visual behaviors. 3.2 Motorized oom Lens Modelling After having determined the parameters of the camera model for a range of lens settings we must characterize how they vary with the lens settings. If we estimate the parameters values using the described pure rotation calibration method and just store them in look-up-tables we need to make no assumptions about how they vary with the settings. However, if we want to use algebraic form for the parameter models or interpolate between the sampled lens settings, we must obtain some generic functional relationships between a dependent variable s (the lens parameters) and an independent variable l (the lens settings). The MDOF motorized lens have the capability to adjust focus, zoom and aperture. The modelling process of the aperture degree of freedom was considered in a completely dierent procedure. Since only focus and zoom are going to be considered in this modelling process, the functional relationship used to model the lens behavior have two independent variables, the focus motor setting foc p and the zoom motor setting zoom p. We used to describe these functional relationships Figure 5: eck and Eye saccade movements 4.1 Saccade ontrol using Motion The saccade process starts when one of the cameras detects peripheral motion. After the detection of peripheral motion, a waiting state occurs until motion is detected in both eyes. In that moment, the head redirected its gaze by a neck and eye saccade to put the target into the horopter (see g. 5). The detection of motion is performed by means of image dierencing. When the integral of dierences is above a threshold, motion is detected. The center of mass is computed and its pixel coordinates converted into rotation angles that the neck or the eye must rotate to foveate on the origin of motion (see g. 6). Due to the latency of the saccade movement (200ms for neck-saccade and 100ms for eye-saccade) an? lter is

At least three consecutive frames are required as input for the? lter. Figure 7 presents the timing diagram for neck and eye saccade and saccade to pursuit transition. Saccade motion is performed by means of position control of all degrees of freedom involved. During the saccade period, and since the camera is moving at high velocity no visual feedback information is processed. 4.2 Smooth Pursuit Using Optical Flow After xating on the object the pursuit process is started by computing the optical ow. During the pursuit process velocity control of the degrees of freedom is used instead of position control as in the case of the saccade. Assuming that the moving object is inside the fovea after a saccade, the smooth pursuit process starts a Kalman lter estimator, which takes the estimated velocity of the target as an input. With this approach, the smooth pursuit controller generates a new prediction of the current image target velocity, and this information is send to the motion servo controller every 10ms (see g. 8). Two dierent motions must be considered to exist in the scene: one caused by the motion been undertaken by the head and the other one coming from the object. Since the rst one is known (through inverse kinematics of the head), we only have to compute the other. We considered the analysis of motion described by the two-component model proposed in [13]. Let I(x; y; t) be the observed gray scale image at time t. We are assuming that the image is formed by the combination of two distinct image patterns, P (the background motion) and Q (the target motion), having independent motions of p and q: I(x; y; 0) = P (x; y) Q(x; y) I(x; y; t) = P tp Q tq (7) where the symbol represents an operator such as addition, multiplication or even a more complex operator to combine the two patterns. In congurations where a foreground object moves in front of a moving background, the combination operator must be more complex, representing the asymmetric relationship between foreground and background. However, since the motion q of the object in the image is in fact q = p + q 0 where q 0 is the real image object motion, we can consider that the operator can be approximately additive. Since motion p is known, only q must be determined. The pattern component P moving at velocity p can be removed from the image sequence by shifting each image frame by p and subtracting it from the following frame. The resulting sequence will contain only patterns moving with velocity q (see g. 9). Let D 1 and D 2 be the rst two frames of this dierence sequence, obtained from three original frames. D 1 I(x; y; t + 1)? I p (x; y; t) = (P 2p + Q 2q )? (P 2p + Q q+p ) = Q 2q? Q q+p = (Q q? Q p ) q (8) D 2 I(x; y; t + 2)? I p (x; y; t + 1) = (P 3p + Q 3q )? (P 3p + Q 2q+p ) = Q 3q? Q 2q+p = (Q q? Q p ) 2q (9) As we can see the sequence of dierence images is undergoing a single motion q. That means that it can be computed using any single-motion estimation technique.

In our case we model image formation by means of the scaled orthographic projection. Even if we model image formation as a perspective projection this is a reasonable assumption since motion will be computed near the origin of the image coordinate system (in a small area around the center x and y are close to zero). We can therefore assume that the optical ow vector is approximately constant throughout all the image, i.e., u = p x and v = p y. To compute the optical ow vector we minimize i (I xi p x + I yi p y + I ti ) 2 = 0 (10) Taking the partial derivatives on p x and on p y and making them equal to zero we obtain: Figure 10: Pursuit sequence. Stack of images obtained during the smooth-pursuit process. The t between consecutive images is 200ms (5frames). 4.2.1 Background Image Motion Estimation The image motion induced by the camera egomotion can be computed using the following equations v u = v x f x z? v z f x x z 2 v v = v y f y z? v z f y y z 2 (13) where (f x, f y ) represents the focal lenght of the lens in pixels and V = v x v y v z T represent the velocity of the point P = x y z T in the camera coordinate system due to the egomotion of the head. This velocity V results from the combination of several joints rotation (eye, tilt, swing and pan) and is dened as: V = V eye + V tilt + V swing + V pan. ( i I 2 x i )p x + ( i I yi I xi )p y + ( i I xi I ti ) = 0 (11) ( i I yi I xi )p x + ( i I 2 y i )p y + +( i I yi I ti ) = 0 (12) The ow is computed on a multiresolution structure. Four dierent resolutions are used: 16 16; 32 32; 64 64. These are sub-sampled images. A rst estimate is obtained at the lowest resolution level (16 16), and this estimate is propagated to the next resolution level, where a new estimate is computed and so on. The optical ow computed this way is used to control the angular velocity of the motors. The sequence Fig. 10 shows images of the pursuit sequence. Figure 11: Pursuit sequence. Stack of images with the eye and target movement during the smooth-pursuit process.

Representing this velocity by V ref =?V Trans? ^ P and since V Trans = 0, the velocity induced by each joint can be expressed as V ref =? ^ P. Assuming the following angular velocities for each of the rotation joints eye = e v 0 T, tilt = t 0 0 T, swing = 0 0 s T and pan = 0 p 0 T the velocities induced by the rotation of each joint are V eye =? cam T eye (? eye ^ P eye ) (14) V tilt =? cam T tilt (? tilt ^ P tilt ) (15) V swing =? cam T swing (? swing ^ P swing ) (16) V pan =? cam T pan (? pan ^ P pan ) (17) where P eye, P tilt, P swing and P pan represents the coordinates of the point P in each one of the joints coordinate systems (see g. 12). 4.3 The Gaze ontroller Strategy The strategy adopted by the gaze controller to combine saccade and smooth pursuit to track moving objects using the MDOF robot head was based on a State Transition System. This controller denes ve dierent states : Waiting, eck-saccade, Eye-Saccade, Pursuit and Saccade. Each one of these states receive command control from the previous state, and trigger the next state in a closed loop transition system. The global conguration of this state transition system is show in gure 13. A combination between pursuit and saccade is implemented with the purpose that the neck always follow the movement of the eyes. With this strategy we bound the range movements of the eyes, avoiding that the left eye verges to its left or the right eye verges to its right 1. When 1 This situation occours for a negative vergence angle one of the eyes is pointing perpendicularly to the baseline, a saccade of the neck if performed and the vergence angle of both eyes becomes equal. During this process, no visual information is processed, and we use the Kalman lter estimator to predict the position and velocity of the target after a saccade. Due to the architecture of our system we can change the control parameters on the y so that the system can adapt itself to changes in velocity. This way the system can cope with sudden changes in velocity. We can also switch from velocity control to position control on the y. We can also have several vision processes running in parallel. Besides the process above described to compute ow due to motion parallel to the image plane, another process to compute ow due to translational motion along the optical axis can also be implemented, taking into account that the object is xated by both cameras. 4.4 Auto-Focusing Mechanism The auto-focusing mechanism is mainly based on the previous calibration of the focused target depth D. During the smooth-pursuit process both eyes are verged on the moving target. Taking advantage of the precise information provided as feedback by all MDOF robot head degrees of freedom, a rough estimate of the target depth related to the robot head can be obtained through triangulation of xated foveated images. Observing gure 14 and since the vergence angles ( l ; r ) and baseline distance b are known with accuracy, the target depth D can be computed by D = b tan l tan r tan l + tan r (18) Since the target distance D is obtained using equation 18 making use of the vergence angles, the lens-target distance

Since this mechanism for auto-focusing requires simple mathematical computation and taking advantage of the MDOF motorized zoom lens speed and accuracy, a real-time auto-focusing process was performed with good results. Figure 15 presents the behavior of the computed target depth and focus motor setting during a smooth-pursuit process. 5 onclusions In this paper we have shown that by using the concept of purposive behavior it is possible to implement real-time active vision systems. The concept is essential for the design of the system architecture, if real time operation and robustness are major design goals. Another result of our approach is that the control architecture we have used enabled real-time operation with limited computing. On the other hand the use of parallelism enabled us the continuous processing of the image data as well as the coordination of the several actuation systems that have to work in synchrony. Parallelism is also essential to allow the visual agents to attend to the several events that are happening in the world continuously. The integration, the system architecture, the information processing modules, and the motor control processes were all designed taking into account the tasks and behavior of the systems.
