Abstract

In this talk I will try to show what Active Vision is, and what it is not. The dominant paradigm in past computer vision research will be illustrated, and the benefits emerging from the active approach will be underlined. Beyond that, I will describe the related approach of purposive and qualitative vision, and try to place the active approach in the perspective of an intelligent perception system.
