Resumo |
Motion has been examined in biology to be a critical component for obstacle avoidance and navigation. In particular, optical flow is a powerful motion cue that has been exploited in many biological systems for survival. In this paper, we investigate an obstacle detection system that uses optical flow to obtain range information to objects. Our experimental results demonstrate that optical flow is capable of providing good obstacle information but has obvious failure modes. We acknowledge that our optical flow system has certain disadvantages and cannot be solely used for navigation. Instead, we believe that optical flow is a critical visual subsystem used when moving at reason- able speeds. When combined with other visual subsystems, considerable synergy can result. |
