Popis: In this paper, we present an algorithm for the hierarchical recognition of an environment using independent components of optical flow fields for the visual navigation of a mobile robot. For the computation of optical flow, the pyramid transform of an image sequence is used for the analysis of global and local motion. Our algorithm detects the planar region and obstacles in the image from optical flow fields at each layer in the pyramid. Therefore, our algorithm allows us to achieve both global perception and local perception for robot vision. We show experimental results for both test image sequences and real image sequences captured by a mobile robot. Furthermore, we show some aspects of this work from the viewpoint of information theory.
