Title: Systems and methods for estimating the structure and motion of an object

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1224812

In one embodiment, the structure and motion of a stationary object are determined using two images and a linear velocity and linear acceleration of a camera. In another embodiment, the structure and motion of a stationary or moving object are determined using an image and linear and angular velocities of a camera.
