    摘要: A visuo-haptic sensor is presented which uses a deformable, passive material that is mounted in view of a camera. When objects interact with the sensor the deformable material is compressed, causing a change in the shape thereof. The change is shape is detected and evaluated by and image processor that is operatively connected to the camera. The camera may also observe the vicinity of the manipulator to measure ego-motion and motion of close-by objects. The visuo-haptic sensor may be attached to a mobile platform, a robotic manipulator or to any other machine which needs to acquire haptic information about the environment.

    摘要: An encoding apparatus for encoding a vibrotactile signal includes a first transforming unit configured to perform a discrete wavelet transform of the signal, a second transforming unit configured to generate a frequency domain representation of the signal, a psychohaptic model unit configured to generate at least one quantization control signal based on the generated frequency domain representation of the sampled signal and on a predetermined perceptual model based on human haptic perception, a quantization unit configured to quantize wavelet coefficients resulting from the performed discrete wavelet transform and adapted by the quantization control signal, a compression unit configured to compress the quantized wavelet coefficients, and a bitstream generating unit configured to generate a bitstream corresponding to the encoded signal based on the compressed quantized wavelet coefficients. The subject matter described herein also includes a corresponding decoding unit, an encoding method and a decoding method.
