Abstract
In a freespace detection apparatus and method, a camera provides at least first and second image data captured at different points in time. A motion vector of the camera is detected and assigned to the image data. The image data is transformed with respect to a predetermined, configurable image plane, and motion compensation of the transformed image data is performed. Difference image data between the motion compensated transformed image data and the transformed second image data is computed, and an object is identified in the computed difference image data.
