( Active Illumination for Robot Vision S.Y. Chen, Senior Member, IEEE, Jianwei Zhang, Member, IEEE, and Y.F. Li, Senior Member, IEEE Abstract—A vision sensor is the robot’s eye to perceive its environment, but the perception performance can be significantly affected by illumination conditions. This paper presents strategies of adaptive illumination control for robot vision to achieve the best scene interpretation. It investigates how to obtain the most comfortable illumination conditions for a vision sensor. In a comfort condition the image reflects the natural properties of the concerned object. Discomfort may occur if some scene information is lost. Strategies are proposed to optimize the pose and optical parameters of the luminaire and the sensor, with emphasis on controlling the intensity and avoiding glare. INTRODUCTION M achine intelligence increases rapidly when the technology of computer vision is applied because through vision sensors knowledge of the environment can be acquired. Traditional methods for machine vision to better interpret scenes are usually focused on post- image processing (e.g. smoothing, filtering, masking, zooming, contrast stretching, pseudocoloring, etc.). However, post- image processing does NOT increase the inherent information content, but an originally better image contains more information of object surfaces. This facilitates further vision analysis and saves time-consuming enhancement processing, which is very important in a machine vision system, especially for real-time applications. “As in real estate where the key to successful investments is location, location, location, in machine vision the key to value (equal to success) is lighting! lighting! lighting!”, said Nello Zuech, the President of Vision Systems International. The principal reason for success in machine vision is the elimination of appearance variables and the consistent appearance that appropriate, application-specific lighting yields. Unlike the early days of m
