In this paper, we propose an algorithm for the detection of dominant planes from optical flow fields caused by camera motion in a static scene. We, in particular, intend to adopt this algorithm as a module for obstacle detection in vision-based navigation of autonomous robots.Copyright CITR, The University of Auckland.
