A novel approach is presented to neural network computation of three-dimensional rigid motion from noisy two-dimensional image flow. It is shown that the process of 3-D interpretation of image flow can be viewed as a linear signal transform. The elementary signals of this linear transform are the 2-D vector fields of the six infinitesimal generators of the 3-D Euclidean group. This transform can be performed by a neural network. Results are also reported of neural network simulations for the 3-D interpretation of image flow and a comparison of the performance of this approach with that using conventional methods. Computer simulation results verify the Lie-group-based neural network approach to three-dimensional motion perception.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
