Abstract

In this work, we propose a saliency-based approach for estimating and segmenting 3D motions of multiple moving objects represented by 2D motion vector fields (MVF). In order to overcome typical problems in autonomous mobile robotic vision such as noise, occlusions, and inhibition of the ego-motion defects of a moving camera head, a classification module has been implemented to define the global motion of the mounted camera. The proposed method achieves valuable reduction in computational time by applying a guided control module which limits the segmentation output to a flexible predefined threshold value. The computational enhancement is very important since the output of the motion segmentation approach is implemented in an active vision system.
