ABSTRACT
This paper presents a control design for a desktop telepresence robot that guarantees satisfaction of field-of-view (FOV) constraints when dynamically tracking multiple points of interest on a person.The multi-point tracking problem is solved by complementing centroid tracking with local constraint satisfaction that is achieved by local integral barrier functions active only in small regions near the FOV limits. Such a control provides an aggregate view of the points of interest on the person and ensures that none of them goes out of view. A simulation study illustrates the performance of the proposed control in comparison with a conventional control.

Hand-Eye Camera Calibration with an Optical Tracking System
ICDSC '18: Proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Distributed Smart CamerasThis paper presents a method for hand-eye camera calibration via an optical tracking system (OTS) faciltating robotic applications. The camera pose cannot be directly tracked via the OTS. Because of this, a transformation matrix between a marker-plate ...
Reducing drift in differential tracking
We present methods for turning pair-wise registration algorithms into drift-free trackers. Such registration algorithms are abundant, but the simplest techniques for building trackers on top of them exhibit either limited tracking range or drift. Our ...
Tracking Multiple Occluding People by Localizing on Multiple Scene Planes
Occlusion and lack of visibility in crowded and cluttered scenes make it difficult to track individual people correctly and consistently, particularly in a single view. We present a multi-view approach to solving this problem. In our approach we neither ...
