Abstract

This book is a summary of a research project sponsored by the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) in service of one of its great challenges: creating an autonomous land vehicle (ALV). This book reports on the computer vision problems associated with having an ALV interpret the scene as it moves through its environment. The main problems addressed by this work are to separate the moving objects from the stationary objects in the scene (as the ALV moves) and to detect how the moving objects are moving with respect to the ALV.
