Abstract
The present invention is generally directed to optical data processing or objects in proximity to an optical sensor or camera, such as a camera mounted on a vehicles. Image data is received from a camera mounted on a vehicle, the image data indicative of a motion of the camera with respect to a detected object within a proximity of the camera or the vehicle on which the camera may be mounted. An optical flow of the object in the image data is determined, and a height of the object is determined based on the determined optical flow.
