Abstract

Obstacle avoidance is one of the most important challenges for mobile robots as well as future vision based driver assistance systems. This task requires a precise extraction of depth and the robust and fast detection of moving objects. In order to reach these goals, this paper considers vision as a process in space and time. It presents a powerful fusion of depth and motion information for image sequences taken from a moving observer. 3D-position and 3D-motion for a large number of image points are estimated simultaneously by means of Kalman-Filters. There is no need of prior error-prone segmentation. Thus, one gets a rich 6D representation that allows the detection of moving obstacles even in the presence of partial occlusion of foreground or background.
