Abstract
This paper describes an application of a vision system based on the use of both an omnidirectional vision sensor and a standard CCD camera. Such a hybrid sensor permits implementation of peripheral/foveal vision strategies, that can be very useful for navigation tasks. This paper focuses particularly on the use of the device as a stereo vision system to locate obstacles in a semi-structured environment through a perspective removal algorithm.
