This project focusses on the analysis of visual motion for              tasks such as navigation through the environment and manipulation               of objects.  The work will be based on previous research over the               past five years, addressing the problems of motion measurement                  and recovery of three-dimensional (3-D) structure from relative                 motion.  Future efforts will first examine three fundamental                    problems:  First, the extraction of qualitative properties of 3-D               structure and motion to facilitate fast locomotion through the                  environment; second, the extension of current structure-from-                   motion methods to allow the interpretation of a greater range of                nonrigid motions, and third, the design of parallel networks to                 recover 3-D structure, which will facilitate the testing of                     algorithms with natural image motion sequences.  The thrust of                  this research will continue to combine theoretical analyses of                  these problems, the design and testing of algorithms, and                       observations regarding the analysis of motion by the human visual               system.
