Abstract

This paper describes a general purpose system based on elementary motion and rigid-body detection that is able to efficiently segment moving objects using a sparse map of features from the visual field. FPGA implementation allows real-time image processing on an embedded system. The modular design allows to add other modules and to use the system in very diverse applications.
