VISHEM: A bag of "robotics" formulae

Abstract

Here collected you will find a number of methods for solving certain kinds of "algebraic" problems found in vision and manipulation programs for our AMF arm and our TVC eye. They are collected here to avoid the need to regenerate them when needed and because I wanted to get rid of a large number of loose sheets of paper in my desk. Documented are various methods hidden in a number of old robotics and vision programs. Some are due to Tom Binford and Bill Gosper.
