Driver assistance systems of the future require a thorough understanding of the car's environment. In this thesis, a novel principle (6D-Vision) is presented and investigated in detail, which allows the reconstruction of the 3D motion field from the image sequence obtained by a stereo camera system. Given correspondences of stereo measurements over time, this principle estimates the 3D position and the 3D motion vector of selected points using Kalman Filters, resulting in a real-time estimation of the observed motion field. To estimate the absolute motion field, the ego-motion of the...
