Signature Date: Abstra t This thesis addresses the problem of building a video-based tra monitoring system. We employ lustering, tra king and three-dimensional re onstru tion of moving ob-je ts over a long image sequen e. We present an algorithm that robustly re overs the motion and re onstru ts three-dimensional shapes from a sequen e of video images, Magaia et al [91℄. The problem of re overing three-dimensional information from two-dimensional proje tions is an important onsideration in many elds, su h as omputer vision, automation, tra and the entertainment industry. Stru ture-from-Motion aims to re over the three-dimensional stru ture of a moving obje t from a series of two-dimensional proje tions. The solution to the problem is obtained by employing
