MIT Media Lab "Eye Society" Powered by ADS!

Eye Society is a project in which a "society" of intelligent cameras solves calibration and scene-modeling problems through exchange of data. There is no central server.

Adding a degree of mobility to the cameras will further permit them to rearrange themselves to take advantage of egomotion and parallax, to verify calibration calculations, and to better overcome certain problems (e.g. seeking viewpoints with strong three-point perspective, filling in occluded regions, better modeling occluding object contours).

Additional work relates to the interpretation of images/models in terms of previously-acquired imagery, in other words describing the differences between observations in physically and semantically meaningful ways.

The small prototypes are built starting with ADS Bitsy systems. Each is equipped with a camera with motorized pan/tilt head, IEEE 802.11 wireless networking, and a motor for traveling along an overhead monorail-style track.

On board, ADSmartIO™ was an important part of this project. For more information, click here
