Modeling and Recovering Uncertainties in Sense Data

Tarek M. Sobh

Abstract

This work examines closely the possibilities for errors, mistakes and uncertainties in sensing systems. We identify and suggest techniques for modeling, analyzing, and recovering these uncertainties. This work concentrates on uncertainties in visual sensing to recover 3-D structure and motion characteristics of the scene under observation, however, we conjecture that the approaches described here are suitable for other sensors and parameters to be recovered. The computed uncertainties are utilized for reconstructing the scene under observation.
