Summary on Grant Application Form
As a video camera moves through the world, analysis of the image trajectories of the arbitrary scene features it observes permits estimation in 3D of both the camera's motion and the actual loctions of the features viewed. However, the successful approaches seen to date have almost exclusively required off-line, batchh processing- and are fundamentally unsuited to a large family of applications where real-time performance is required. I propose to work towards filling this gap by concentrating on single camera motion estimation in real-time. The issues thrown up by real-time constraints made this a problem in sequential, state-based estimation and previous work in mobile robot navigation, active vision and tracking will prove more relevant than the literature on off-line reconstruction.
