Legters, Jr., G.R., and Young, T.Y.,
A Mathematical Model for Computer Image Tracking,
PAMI(4), No. 6, November 1982, pp. 583-594. Kalman Filter. Operates on synthetic binary images, operators for translation and rotation describe the motion and a predictive Kalman filter is used to track motion through occlusions (2-d rigid motion only). Differences between pairs of scenes (images) give a positive and negative image. From the error function, the adjustment in (Dx, Dy) can be computed (iterate!). The gradient of the error is computed to aid in this (change is in the direction of the gradient). There may be something in the formulation that implies that perfect differences can give proper results. BibRef 8211
