It is an important problem with many applications in robotics. Existing work focuses mostly on the 2-D version of the problem, partly due to the complexity of dealing with 3-D visibility relationships. This paper proposes an online algorithm for 3-D target tracking among obstacles, using only local geometric information available to a robot's visual sensors. Key to this new algorithm is the definition and efficient computation of a risk function, which tries to capture a target's ability in escaping from the robot sensors' visibility region in both short and long terms. The robot then moves to minimize this risk function locally in a greedy fashion. In the absence of occlusion by obstacles, the standard tracking algorithm based on visual servo control can be considered a special case of our algorithm. Experiments show that the new algorithm generated interesting tracking behaviors in three dimensions and performed substantially better than visual servo control in simulation. © 2010 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg. | Source Title: | Springer Tracts in Advanced Robotics | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/43272 | ISBN: | 9783642147425 | ISSN: | 16107438 | DOI: | 10.1007/978-3-642-14743-2_23 |
