Abstract
The invention is a passive method to measure the translational speed of a visual scene using the distribution of light intensities. The invention combines two principles: perspective distortion matching over a broad field of view, and temporal filtering variation. The perspective distortion of the image is used to sample the visual scene at different linear wavelengths over the visual field. The result is a spatial sensitivity map of the visual scene. The obtained signal is then temporally filtered with cutoff frequencies proportional to the spatial sensitivity. The final result is a wide-spectrum computation of a ratio between temporal and linear spatial frequencies, in other words linear speed. The technique does not require the emission of a reference signal and is independent from external infrastructures.
