Chapter 19
Motion
Motion is another aspect of 3-D vision that humans are able to interpret with ease. This chapter studies the basic theoretical concepts. It is left to Chapters 22 and 23 to apply them to real problems where motion is crucial, including the monitoring of traffic flow and the tracking of people.
Look out for:
• the basic concepts of optical flow, and its limitations.
• the idea of a focus of expansion, and how it leads to the possibility of “structure from motion.”
• how motion stereo is achieved.
• the important status of the Kalman filter in motion applications.
• the ways in which invariant features may be used for wide baseline matching.
Note that this introductory chapter on 3-D motion leads to important methods for performing ...
