Abstract

We study the problem of recovering temporal parameterswhich act as predictiveoperators, generalize time-to-collision and have direct interpretation for navigational purposes for piecewise arbitrarilysmooth (polynomial) motion.A result stating that, for monocular observers undergoing arbitrarypolynomial laws, these parameters are visually observable, ispresented in the first part of this paper.This property suggests an alternate temporal representation of visual looming information.The second part of thispaper is concerned with algorithmic approaches for environments withmaneuvering agents. Amethod addressing model order determination, collision detection, andtemporal parameter estimation is proposed. Experimental results are reported.
