Motion Estimation via a Zoom Camera
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper discusses the motion estimation problem of a rigid-body using a zoom camera via observations of a single feature point. Both the rotational and translational parameters are assumed to be unknown constants. Estimation of the unknown parameters is obtained in two steps. In the first step, the camera’s focal length is fixed and the rotational parameters can be estimated. In the second step, the camera’s focal length is changing as a time-varying signal. In our current design, the focal length performs a sinusoidal motion. The unknown depth, along with the translational parameters, can be estimated. Simulation results are presented that demonstrate successful motion estimation.

Foreground/Background Separation Via Camera Motion Estimation
Camera motion estimation is an important step in the compression of video sequences taken with a real camera. By obtaining zoom and pan parameters that account for camera translation, rotation and change of focus, it is possible to devote all the subsequent compression efforts on the coding of the foreground motion. In this paper, we propose a new approach to zoom and pan detection. First, the ...
متن کاملGlobal Motion Parameter Extraction and Deformable Block Motion Estimation
A global motion parameter estimation method is proposed. The method can be used to segment an image sequence into regions of different moving objects. For any two pixels belonging to the same moving object, their associated global motion components have a fixed relationship from the projection geometry of camera imaging. Therefore, by examining the measured motion vectors we are able to group p...
متن کاملRobust pan, tilt and zoom estimation
In this paper we propose a method for estimating the motion parameters for a rotating camera with a possibly changing focal length. This method is suitable for analysing sport event videos. The estimation process consists of three stages: (1) robust estimation of the 2-D translational components, (2) 2-D block-based motion estimation and (3) robust estimation of a parametric motion model. For m...

Low-level feature extraction (camera motion) Ground truth annotation Manual camera motion annotation has been performed by three groups using a tool provided by Joanneum Research. Some types of content made it difficult or impossible for human annotators to describe the camera motion. The comparison of annotations of the same content done by two groups shows significant differences for some fea...
متن کاملA NEW METHOD FOR CAMERA MOTION PARAMETER ESTIMATION - Image Processing, 1995. Proceedings., International Conference on
We derive a six parameter system to estimate and compensate the effects of camera motion zoom, pan, tilt and swing. As compared to other existing methods, this model describes more precisely the effect of different kinds of camera motions. A recursive leastsquares estimator has been used to solve for the motion parameters. Experiments suggest that our algorithm converges to satisfactory results...
