Dynamic visibility checking for vision-based motion planning
Bibliographic record
Abstract
An important problem in position-based visual servoing (PBVS) is to guarantee that a target will remain within the field of view for the duration of the task. In this paper, we propose a dynamic visibility checking algorithm that, given a parametrized trajectory of the camera, determines if an arbitrary 3D target will remain within the field of view. We reformulate this problem as the problem of determining if the 3D coordinates of the target collide with the frustum formed by the camera field of view during the camera trajectory. To solve this problem, our algorithm computes and compares the shortest distance between the target and the frustum with the length of the trajectory described by the target in the camera's coordinate frame. Furthermore, we demonstrate that our algorithm can be combined with path planning algorithms and, in particular, probabilistic roadmaps (PRM). Results suggest that our algorithm is computationally efficient even when the target moves in the vicinity of image borders. In simulations, we use our dynamic visibility checking algorithm in conjunction with a PRM to plan collision free paths while providing the guarantee that a specific target will not leave the field of view.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
