    • Abstract:  Abstract Most early research in robotic visual tracking, especially prior to 1990, separated the vision processing and robot control aspects of the system. Attempts to solve the problem close the control loop by incorporating the output of the vision processing as an input to the control subsystem. The controlled active vision framework describes one such approach wherein dynamic target, camera, and environmental factors are incorporated via adaptive controllers that utilize the sum-of-squared differences (SSD) optical flow measurements as an input to the control loop. This paper describes work at the University of Minnesota's Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, and Vision Laboratory in developing the Minnesota Robotic Visual Tracker (MRVT), a controlled active vision robotic testbed. In addition, enhancements to the basic SSD algorithm are presented that produce order-of-magnitude improvements over previously reported results

            • Inside the El Bulli Black Market
              It may seem like spending $365 for a dinner is an extravagance, but the lucky folks who snagged tickets for the El Bulli-replicating dinner series at the Chicago restaurant Next could stand to turn tidy profit if they choose to resell them.  El Bulli was a Michelin three-star restaurant in Spain that closed in 2011, and the limited time only recreation of its menu in Chicago has, as we predicted ...

              NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Contrary to previous research showing the number of CT scans done on children is rising, a new study finds use of the technology has leveled off and might even be declining -- at least in Georgia ERs. The radiation from CT scans carries a small risk of cancer, which has fueled concerns about overuse, particularly in kids. "If we're lucky, this publication does reflect ...

              MOSCOW (Reuters) - Fashion-conscious Soviets loved hard-to-find Levi's jeans in the 1980s, oligarchs of the 90s ushered in a passion for Bentley cars and stiletto heels from Dior, but these days all you need to be hip in Russia is a white ribbon and a little anger. Protesting for free and fair elections has consigned the bling thing to the vintage bin of history for now in Russia ahead of the ...
