We discuss the cause of a severe optical flow estimation problem that fine motion structures cannot always be correctly reconstructed in the commonly employed multi-scale variational framework. Our major finding is that significant and abrupt displacement transition wrecks small-scale motion structures in the coarse-to-fine refinement. A novel optical flow estimation method is proposed in this paper...
In this paper, we present a new approach for recovering spacetime-consistent depth maps from multiple video sequences captured by stationary, synchronized and calibrated cameras for depth based free viewpoint video rendering. Our two-pass approach is generalized from the recently proposed region-tree based binocular stereo matching method. In each pass, to enforce temporal consistency between successive...
In this paper, we propose a new region-based method for accurate motion estimation using discrete optimization. In particular, the input image is represented as a tree of over-segmented regions and the optical flow is estimated by optimizing an energy function defined on such a region-tree using dynamic programming. To accommodate the sampling-inefficiency problem intrinsic to discrete optimization...
In this paper, we propose a novel dynamic discrete framework to address image morphing with application to optical flow estimation. We reformulate the problem using a number of discrete displacements, and therefore the estimation of the morphing parameters becomes a tractable matching criteria independent combinatorial problem which is solved through the FastPD algorithm. In order to overcome the...
Accurate estimation of optical flow is a challenging task, which often requires addressing difficult energy optimization problems. To solve them, most top-performing methods rely on continuous optimization algorithms. The modeling accuracy of the energy in this case is often traded for its tractability. This is in contrast to the related problem of narrow-baseline stereo matching, where the top-performing...
