A Proposal of a Homeostatic Regulation Mechanism for a Vision System

Abstract

Abstract. In this work, we propose the introduction of a homeostatic regulation mechanism in a vision system. This homeostatic mechanism takes charge of controlling the luminance, white balance, contrast and size of the object of interest in the image, using naive methods except for the contrast, for which we have implemented a method that avoids the hill climbing search for the best focus position. We carry out some experiments in order to test the possible increase of the performance in a face detection application.
