    We use a combination of two techniques to achieve dextrous robot fine manipulation: the use of an approximate estimated motor model, based on the grasp tetrahedron acquired when grasping an object, and the use of visual feedback to achieve accurate fine manipulation.
  38. Jagersand M. Nelson R. On-line Estimation of Visual-Motor Models using Active Vision In Proc. ARPA Image Understanding Workshop 96. HTML version Also: pdf version
    We present a promising approach for combined visual model acqusition and agent control. The approach differs from previous work in that a full coupled Jacobian is estimated on-line without any prior models, or the introduction of special calibration movements. We show how the estimated models can be used for visual space robot task specification, planning and control. In the other direction the same type of models can be used for view synthesis.

    Information in scale space is defined as a successive Kullback contrast between scale levels. Numerous experiments on real images show that this reflects our intuitive idea of in what scale the image information is.
