    Abstract: A method for sparse optical flow based tracking in a computer vision system is provided that includes detecting feature points in a frame captured by a monocular camera in the computer vision system to generate a plurality of detected feature points, generating a binary image indicating locations of the detected feature points with a bit value of one, wherein all other locations in the binary image have a bit value of zero, generating another binary image indicating neighborhoods of currently tracked points, wherein locations of the neighborhoods in the binary image have a bit value of zero and all other locations in the binary image have a bit value of one, and performing a binary AND of the two binary images to generate another binary image, wherein locations in the binary image having a bit value of one indicate new feature points detected in the frame.

    Abstract: In accordance with disclosed embodiments, an image processing method includes performing a first scan in a first direction on a first list of pixels in which, for each pixel in the first list, a feature point property is compared with a corresponding feature point property of each of a first set of neighboring pixels, performing a second scan in a second direction on the first list of pixels in which, for each pixel in the first list, a feature point property is compared with a corresponding feature point property of each of a second set of neighboring pixels, using the results of the first and second scans to identify pixels from the first list to be suppressed, and forming a second list of pixels that includes pixels from the first list that are not identified as pixels to be suppressed. The second list represents a non-maxima suppressed list.

    Abstract: A method for estimating time to collision (TTC) of a detected object in a computer vision system is provided that includes determining a three dimensional (3D) position of a camera in the computer vision system, determining a 3D position of the detected object based on a 2D position of the detected object in an image captured by the camera and an estimated ground plane corresponding to the image, computing a relative 3D position of the camera, a velocity of the relative 3D position, and an acceleration of the relative 3D position based on the 3D position of the camera and the 3D position of the detected object, wherein the relative 3D position of the camera is relative to the 3D position of the detected object, and computing the TTC of the detected object based on the relative 3D position, the velocity, and the acceleration.

    Abstract: This invention transforms a list of feature points in raster scan order into a list of maxima suppressed feature points. A working buffer has two more entries than the width of the original image. Each entry is assigned to an x coordinate of the original image. Each entry stores a combined y coordinate and reliability score for each feature point in the original list. This process involves a forward scan and a backward scan. For each original feature point its x coordinate defines the location within the working buffer where neighbor feature points would be stored if they exist. The working buffer initial data and the y coordinates assure a non-suppress comparison result if the potential neighbors are not actual neighbors. For actual neighbor data, the y coordinates match and the comparison result depends solely upon the relative reliability scores.
