A method for extracting the motion parameters of several independently moving objects from displacments field information is described. The method is based on a generalized Hough transform technique. Some of the problems of this technique are addressed and appropriate solutions are proposed. A modified multipass Hough transform appraoch has been implemented, where i each pass windows are lkocated around objects and the transform is applied only to the displacement vectors contained in these windows. The windows are determined by the degree to which the displacement field is locally inconsistent with previously found motion transformations. Thus, the sensitivity of the Hough transform to local events is increased and the motion parameters of small objects can be detected even in a noisy displacement field. The author also use a multi-resolution scheme in both the image plane and the parameter space and thus reduce the computational cost of the technique. The method is demonstrated by experiments based on artifical images with four parameters of 2-d motion: rotation, expansion and tranlation in both axes.

In the area of Digital Image Processing the new area of "Time-Varying Image Processing and Moving Oject Recognition" is contributing to impressive advances in several fields. Presented in this volume are new digital image processing and recognition methods, implementation techniques and advanced applications such as television, remote sensing, biomedicine, traffic, inspection, and robotics. New approaches (such as digital transforms, neural networks) for solving 2-D and 3-D problems are described. Many papers concentrate on motion estimation and recognition i.e. tracking of moving objects. Overall, the book describes the state-of-the-art (theory, implementation, applications) of this developing area, together with future trends. The work will be of interest not only to researchers, professors and students in university departments of engineering, communications, computers and automatic control, but also to engineers and managers of industries concerned with computer vision, manufacturing, automation, robotics and quality control.

Abstract: "A new method is presented for recovering the three- dimensional motion and structure of multiple, independently-moving, rigid objects through the analysis of binocular image flow fields. The input to the algorithm is the image location and image velocity of a sparse set of feature points in the stereo image pair. The algorithm analyzes one rigid object at a time by simultaneously segmenting the associated feature points from the input data set, establishing the stereo correspondence of these feature points and determining the three-dimensional motion of the object. The solution method is iterative and is based on the stereo-motion algorithm presented in [8] for the analysis of scenes with only one set of three-dimensional motion components. No restrictions on the three- dimensional structure of the scene are required by the theory. Experimental results with numerically generated and laboratory image sequences are given to verify the method."

Containing 88 papers, the emphasis of this volume is on the control of advanced robots. These robots may be self-contained or part of a system. The applications of such robots vary from manufacturing, assembly and material handling to space work and rescue operations. Topics presented at the Symposium included sensors and robot vision systems as well as the planning and control of robot actions. Main topics covered include the design of control systems and their implementation; advanced sensors and multisensor systems; explicit robot programming; implicit (task-orientated) robot programming; interaction between programming and control systems; simulation as a programming aid; AI techniques for advanced robot systems and autonomous robots.

This volume constitutes the proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Computer Analysis of Images and Patterns (CAIP'93), held in Budapest, Hungary, in September 1993. Formerly, the events in this biennial conference series were thought as a forum where East European researchers and professionals from academia and industry had an opportunity to discuss their results and ideas with Western colleagues active in image processing and pattern recognition. Now, CAIP'93 has a much more international scope, and in the future these conferences will not any longertake place only in East European countries, but roam throughout whole Europe. Besides invited talks by Belikova, Gimel'farb, Haralick and Roska, the volume contains 114 contributions, either presented as lectures or posters and carefully selected by a highly competent international program committee from a total of some 230 submissions; thus the book gives a thorough survey on recent research results and their applications in image processing and pattern recognition. The proceedings is organized in 20 sections, for example on image data structures, image processing, edges and contours, Hough transforms and related methods, shape, motion, 3-D vision, character recognition and document processing, biomedical applications, industrial applications, and neural networks.

Digital image sequences (including digital video) are increasingly common and important components in technical applications ranging from medical imaging and multimedia communications to autonomous vehicle navigation. The immense popularity of DVD video and the introduction of digital television make digital video ubiquitous in the consumer domain. Digital Image Sequence Processing, Compression, and Analysis provides an overview of the current state of the field, as analyzed by leading researchers. An invaluable resource for planning and conducting research in this area, the book conveys a unified view of potential directions for further industrial development. It offers an in-depth treatment of the latest perspectives on processing, compression, and analysis of digital image sequences. Research involving digital image sequences remains extremely active. The advent of economical sequence acquisition, storage, and display devices, together with the availability of computing power, opens new areas of opportunity. This volume delivers the background necessary to understand the strengths and weaknesses of current techniques and the directions that consumer and technical applications may take over the coming decade.
