An omni-directional camera is used to get the 360° of field of view and an efficient tracking technique is developed to track the target. The use of the omni-directional geometry eliminates many of the problems common in visual tracking and makes the use of visual servoing a practical alternative for robot-human interaction. The experiments demonstrate that it is an effective and robust way to guide a robot. In particular, the experiments show robustness of the tracker to loss of template, vehicle motion, and change in scale and orientation.", pages = "205-220(16)", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/vsp/arb/2000/00000014/00000003/art00004" doi = "doi:10.1163/156855300741537" }
