Abstract

Sensing the distance to an object is a very important clue in many fields and is an area of active research. In our research we propose an alternative method to tell the distance by using motion parallax method that is based on monocular vision and a moving observer with a constant acceleration approximately in an unknown environment. In this paper, our proposed method is applied for the outdoor environment and showed well performance. This is a good point for mobile robots or vehicles to obtain depth by using this method as long as the observer acceleration is known.
