Abstract:
This article introduces the 4D sensor perception in relativistic image processing as a novel way of position and depth estimation. Relativistic image processing extends conventional image processing in computer vision to include the theory of relativity and combines temporal sensor and image data. In consideration of these temporal and relativistic aspects, we process diverse types of information in a novel model of 4D space through 10 different degrees of freedom consisting of 4 translations and 6 rotations. In this way, sensor and image data can be related and processed as a causal tensor field. This enables the temporal prediction of a user's own position and environmental changes as well as the extraction of depth and sensor maps by related sensors and images. The dynamic influences and cross-sensor dependencies are incorporated into the metric calculation of spatial distances and positions, opening up new perspectives on numerous fields of application in mobility, measurement technology, robotics, and medicine.

However, to express the relative position of point B relative to point A, an additional frame of reference, denoted as x'y', is necessary. This additional frame not only translates but also rotates relative to the fixed frame, making it...
