A computer-implemented method for training an agent in a first context including an entity and an environment of the entity, to allow an apparatus to perform a navigation task in a second context comprising the apparatus and a physical environment of the apparatus, the apparatus adapted to receive images of the physical environment of the apparatus and comprising a steering device adapted to control the direction of the apparatus, the method comprising: obtaining one or more navigation tasks comprising: generating a navigation task; scoring the navigation task using a machine-learned model trained to estimate the easiness of tasks; in response to the score satisfying a selection criterion, selecting the navigation task as one of the one or more navigation tasks; and training the agent using a reinforcement learning method comprising attempting to perform, by the entity, the one or more navigation tasks using images of the environment of the entity.

Computer vision method and system

A system for producing a 3D image of an object, the system includes: a processor adapted to receive multiview stereo photometric data, the multiview photometric stereo data including a first set of image data, wherein the first set of image data includes images captured by the first camera at a plurality of positions with illumination from different illumination directions such that there are a plurality of images from a different illumination direction for each position of the first camera, the processor being adapted to process the multiview photometric stereo data using a photometric stereo approach with a formulation of the irradiance using a reflection model that models both diffuse and specular reflection.
