An assembly scene There seems to be a small open place between the group of houses in the foreground and the store in the background". First of all, it can be stated that the image does not show an everyday scene. The image shows a snapshot of an assembly line.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Computer Vision Systems, ICVS 2001, held in Vancouver, Canada, in July 2001. The 20 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 30 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on architectures for computer vision systems, tracking, autonomous driving, real-time vision modules, recognition, and exploration and navigation.

Human Centered Robotic Systems must be able to interact with humans such that the burden of adaptation lies with the machine and not with the human. This book collates a set of prominent papers presented during a two-day conference on "Human Centered Robotic Systems" held on November 19-20, 2009, in Bielefeld University, Germany. The aim of the conference was to bring together researchers from the areas of robotics, computer science, psychology, linguistics, and biology who are all focusing on a shared goal of cognitive interaction. A survey of recent approaches, the current state-of-the-art, and possible future directions in this interdisciplinary field is presented. It provides practitioners and scientists with an up-to-date introduction to this dynamic field, with methods and solutions that are likely to significantly impact on our future lives.
