Abstract
This paper presents a methodology for the detection of objects that move independently
of the observer in a 3D dynamic environment. Independent 3D motion detection is
formulated as a problem of robust regression applied to visual input acquired by a binocular,
rigidly moving observer. The qualitative analysis of images acquired by a parallel stereo
configuration yields a segmentation of a scene into depth layers. A depth layer consists of
points of the 3D space with almost constant depth from the observer. Robust regression
