Sensory-Motor Coordination in Gaze Control
2005
In the field of artificial intelligence, there is a considerable interest in the notion of sensory-motor coordination as an explanation for intelligent behaviour. However, there has been little research on sensory-motor coordination in tasks that go beyond low-level behavioural tasks. In this paper we show that sensory-motor coordination can also enhance performance on a high-level task: artificial gaze control for gender recognition in natural images. To investigate the advantage of sensory-motor coordination, we compare a non-situated model of gaze control (incapable of sensory-motor coordination) with a situated model of gaze control (capable of sensory-motor coordination). The non-situated model of gaze control shifts the gaze according to a fixed set of locations, optimised by an evolutionary algorithm. The situated model of gaze control determines gaze shifts on the basis of local inputs in a visual scene. An evolutionary algorithm optimises the model’s gaze control policy. From the experiments performed, we may conclude that sensory-motor coordination contributes to artificial gaze control for the high-level task of gender recognition in natural images: the situated model outperforms the non-situated model. The mechanism of sensory-motor coordination establishes dependencies between multiple actions and observations that are exploited to optimise categorisation performance.
Prediction and cooperation in gaze control
Biological Cybernetics, 1990
Multiple gaze control capabilities are coordinated using predictive methods. Internal models of state allow smooth interaction of multivariable, multirate controls. The problem of rapid gaze shift in a simulated robotic system illustrates several styles of control interaction.
