This book defines the emerging field of Active Perception which
calls for studying perception coupled with action. It is devoted to
technical problems related to the design and analysis of
intelligent systems possessing perception such as the existing
biological organisms and the "seeing" machines of the future. Since
the appearance of the first technical results on active vision,
researchers began to realize that perception -- and intelligence in
general -- is not transcendental and disembodied. It is becoming
clear that in the effort to build intelligent visual systems,
consideration must be given to the fact that perception is
intimately related to the physiology of the perceiver and the tasks
that it performs. This viewpoint -- known as Purposive,
Qualitative, or Animate Vision -- is the natural evolution of the
principles of Active Vision. The seven chapters in this volume
present various aspects of active perception, ranging from general
principles and methodological matters to technical issues related
to navigation, manipulation, recognition, learning, planning,
reasoning, and topics related to the neurophysiology of intelligent
systems.
