Motion
term_id: motion
Category: basic_concepts
Definition
In computer vision and robotics, motion refers to the detection and analysis of movement within visual data or physical systems. Algorithms like Optical Flow estimate the pattern of apparent motion of objects, while motion sensors track physical displacement. Understanding motion is critical for applications such as autonomous driving, where predicting the trajectory of other vehicles is essential for safety, and in video compression, where redundant frames are minimized by analyzing motion vectors between consecutive images.
Summary
The continuous change in position of an object with respect to time and a reference frame.
