Analysis of motion and curvature in image sequences

We briefly review a recent development in the area of computer vision and multidimensional signal processing. Image sequences are regarded as hypersurfaces and useful properties are derived from the geometry of that hypersurface. Besides demonstrating the uniqueness of curvature, new methods for the analysis of single and multiple motions are presented including the case of occluded motions.
