1. Method for detecting a clear path of travel for a vehicle utilizing analysis of a plurality of images of a view generated by a camera device located upon the vehicle, the method comprising: monitoring the images, each image comprising a plurality of pixels; identifying a set of interest points from the plurality of pixels in each of two images, the two images comprising a current image and a preceding image; matching pairs of interest points from the set of interest points from the current image and the set of interest points from the preceding image, wherein each of the matched pairs is estimated to correspond to a single viewed feature; filtering the matched pairs of interest points to select a preferential set of matched pairs comprising analyzing the matched pairs with quality control criteria comprising determining if a distance between interest points of a particular matched pair of interest points is less than a threshold distance based upon a speed of the vehicle, and including the particular matched pair of interest points in the preferential set of matched pairs if the distance between the interest points is less than the threshold distance; determining positions of a plurality of points associated with features of objects in the view based upon the preferential set of matched pairs; and determining the clear path based upon the mapped features.
