Abstract

Recently, there are many researches on location estimation using optical flow, which is a well-known distance estimation method without any infrastructure. However, since the calculation of optical flow needs high computational power, it cannot adapt to high- speed movement. Therefore, in this paper, we propose intra-frame optical flow, which is a new distance estimation method using an interlace camera. It can estimate the high speed moving objects accurately because it uses two successive images with a very short scanning interval extracted from one image captured by an interlace camera. The evaluation result confirmed the effectiveness of our method.
