E-raamat: Motion Vision: Design of compact motion sensing solutions for navigation of autonomous systems

Kolodko and Vlacic, both affiliated with the Intelligent Control Systems Laboratory, Griffith University, Australia, focus on the design, development, and implementation of motion measuring sensors, in this guide for sensor designers and for advanced students with background in programming and basic digital logic. They begin by looking at the problem of motion estimation from biological, algorithmic, and digital perspectives, then describe an algorithm that fits with the motion processing model and hardware and software constraints, and detail implementation of the algorithm in digital hardware. The book is distributed in the US by Books International. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

This comprehensive new book deals with motion estimation for autonomous systems from a biological, algorithmic and digital perspective. An algorithm, which is based on the optical flow constraint equation, is described in detail. This algorithm fits with the motion processing model, hardware and software constraints and resolves depth-velocity ambiguity, which is critical for autonomous navigation. There is also extensive coverage on the use of this algorithm in digital hardware and describes both the initial motion processing model, the chosen hardware platforms, and the global function of the system.
