Hi,
Im prototyping some ideas concerning symbol grounding and cognition in the context of AGI and would like to make use of vision. Im looking for some library or classes for Java that can do real time or nearly real-time image/video processing. Im after either: fairly robust object segmentation; 2.5D or 3D reconstruction; object recognition; or something like superquadric reconstruction. Something that attempts to describe the physical structure of the world seen through the camera. Im not actually after anything particularly fancy or general Im happy even to craft the lighting and objects to suit the library Im more interested in finding something that works reasonably well out-of-the-box in some open ended domain so that I can conduct a few experiments. That is, Im after a library that does some kind of modest, but meaningful, image processing. I know this is possible I see it done again and again at AI conferences; but I cant seem to be able to find any ready-to-use libraries for Java. Ive had a quick attempt at doing it myself, but used very naïve algorithms and the result wasnt very robust. Id love to find something already available before I dive deeper into the machine vision literature and attempt to write my own. Im capturing video frames via the Java Media Framework, but could convert the stream into images of any reasonable format. Any pointers would be very much appreciated.
