Lab Description

The Task-Oriented Vision Laboratory is investigating the theory of how the requirements for accomplishing a visual task determine the optimal architecture of a vision system: representations, selection of modules and control schemata. Traditionally, computer vision research has emphasized investigating each vision module in a general and isolated condition. Such research efforts often generate unrealistic solutions from ill-defined assumptions. In contrast, we consider a vision system as a whole and emphasize the research on interactions among modules as well as the research on each vision module.
