ABSTRACT
Current work on image understanding at the University of Utah is
focused principally on using computer vision and related sensing
techniques to aid in problems associated with manufacturing. Three
projects are now underway: feature-based reverse engineering,
benchmarking of IU for man-made objects, and improved integration of
inspection with design and manufacturing. In all three projects, the
emphasis is on using information about ``real-world'' manufacturing
equipment and operations, rather than general-purpose methods intended
for more generic tasks. In addition, we are completing work on
landmark-based navigation for mobile robots.
