Abstract
In this paper, we consider the problem of estimating motion and shape parameters of a plane undergoing three different motion models using both a CCD camera and a laser range finder. The camera observes features on the moving plane perspectively or orthographically. The laser range finder observes a cross section of the plane as a line. We use this time-varying line information for the estimation problem of motion and shape parameters, and obtain the extent to which motion and shape parameters can be estimated.
