An experimental study of a binocular vision system for rough terrain locomotion of a hexapod walking robot

Abstract

This reproduction was made from a copy o f a document sent to us for microfilming.While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this docum ent, the quality o f the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality o f the material submitted.The following explanation o f techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction.1.T h e sign or " target" for pages apparently lacking from the docum ent photographed is "Missing Page(s)" .If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages.This may have necessitated cutting througli an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure com plete continuity.2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication o f either blurred copy because o f m ovement during exposure, duplicate cop y, or copyrighted materials that should n ot have been film ed.For blurred pages, a good image o f the page can be found in the adjacent frame.If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame.3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part o f the material being photographed, a definite m ethod o f "sectioning" the material has been followed.It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand com er o f a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps.If necessary, sectioning is continued again-beginning below the first row and continuing on until com plete.
