Dynamic Image Interpretation for Autonomous Vehicle Navigation

Abstract

This report presents the results of the project on Dynamic Image Interpretation for Autonomous Land Vehicle (ALV) Navigation for the time period 2/26/87--2/25/88. The purpose of the ALV project is to develop algorithms and tools to enable a vehicle to navigate autonomously through realistic landscapes. Contents: Visual Motion Analysis- Computation of the Optical Flow Field; The Recovery of Environmental Motion and Structure from a Mobile Vehicle; Alternatives to General Motion Analysis; Stereoscopic Motion Analysis; Analysis of Constant General Motion; Token-Based Approaches to Motion and Perceptual Organization; Mobile Vehicle Navigation; Perceptual Organization (Grouping)- The Perceptual Organization of Image Curves; Extracting Geometric Structure; Database Support for Symbolic Vision Processing- ISR1, ISR2, Generic Views and Indexing.
