The technique calibrates a camera, receives multiple images and camera ego motion information, selects multiple real- world points and applies motion estimation on the real-world points and images. The technique further determines a true motion flow of the real-world points and when any real-world point is an obstacle. The technology may be implemented in automobile safety devices, autonomous driving, vehicle safety equipment, image processing software, vehicle cameras, etc.
