Project info for MPEG object detection

Notes: MPEG video vectors could be used to detect objects. this system hopefully couldn't be tricked by shadows or weak edges. Aparently MIT has beaten me to the punch on this one... An issue of "Videre: Journal of computer vision" dated Summer 1999 describes a robot that has wandered around their lab without collisions and without high level path planning for as long as 26 minutes using only motion vector information derived from a video camera. A very interesting read for anyone interested in object avoidance and planning.

Dang! i found out that link didn't work.
