PT Unknown AU Naveen Onkarappa Angel Sappa TI On-Board Monocular Vision System Pose Estimation through a Dense Optical Flow BT 7th International Conference on Image Analysis and Recognition PY 2010 BP 230 EP 239 VL 6111 DI 10.1007/978-3-642-13772-3_24 AB This paper presents a robust technique for estimating on-board monocular vision system pose. The proposed approach is based on a dense optical flow that is robust against shadows, reflections and illumination changes. A RANSAC based scheme is used to cope with the outliers in the optical flow. The proposed technique is intended to be used in driver assistance systems for applications such as obstacle or pedestrian detection. Experimental results on different scenarios, both from synthetic and real sequences, shows usefulness of the proposed approach. ER
