Rodney's world: Features of interest

This video shows the features of interest extracted from the left and right cameras of the Rodney humanoid robot. These are very simple edge features extracted from individual image rows and columns on two spatial scales by non-maximal suppression. Their simplicity makes them very fast to compute, such that the feature extraction step can be performed at frame rate speeds, even on quite modest hardware. In the left image blue crosses are vertically oriented features and green crosses are horizontally oriented. For more info see http://code.google.com/p/sentience/
