چکیده

The Horn-Schunck equations are a coupled system of two partial differential equations which aim at finding motion information in a given image sequence. Recent results [1, 2] asserted that this system is well-posed and can not be decoupled under any linear transformations. In this paper, two alternating iterative algorithms are proposed to solve this system. These algorithms have three properties: first, at each single iteration, both algorithms consist of two decoupled, scalar equations of elliptic type, driven by the last approximate solutions; second, the particular form of iterations allows analytical solutions expressed via potential integral, Poisson integral, conformal mapping and Feynman-Kac formula; third, exponential convergence of these algorithms are established under mild conditions and the rates of convergence are given with the help of energy inequalities and Banach fixed point principle for contraction mappings. Limitations of these algorithms are discussed. Streszczenie. W artykule zaproponowano sposób analizy i rozwiązywania równań Horn’a-Schunck’a. Rozwiązanie polega na zastosowaniu dwóch algorytmów o przemiennej iteracji. W każdym kroku obydwa algorytmy składają się z dwóch niezależnych eliptycznych równań skalarnych, bazujących na ostatnim przybliżonym rozwiązaniu. Otrzymane rozwiązanie może być wyrażone poprzez całkę potencjału, całkę Poisson’a, odwzorowanie wiernokątne, formułę Feynman’a-Kac’a. Przedstawiono i omówiono ograniczenia stosowania proponowanych algorytmów. (Analiza równań Horn-Schunck’a przepływu optycznego – część III: algorytmy o iteracji przemiennej).

Implementation of Differential Optical Flow Algorithms in Natural Rigid Video Motion

Computing the optical flow of a sequence of images still remains a challenge in low-level video processing. Till present, none of the existing techniques has sufficiently generated accurate and dense optical flow fields to robustly represent video motion. In this paper we implement the optical flow algorithms through different lengths of displacements that exist in video motion of natural objec...

Horn-Schunck Optical Flow with a Multi-Scale Strategy

The seminal work of Horn and Schunck is the first variational method for optical flow estimation. It introduced a novel framework where the optical flow is computed as the solution of a minimization problem. From the assumption that pixel intensities do not change over time, the optical flow constraint equation is derived. This equation relates the optical flow with the derivatives of the image...

Revisiting Horn and Schunck: Interpretation as Gauss-Newton Optimisation

In this paper we revisit the Horn and Schunck optical flow method [1], and focus on its interpretation as Gauss-Newton optimisation. We explicitly demonstrate that the standard incremental version of the Horn and Schunck (HS) method1 is equivalent to Gauss-Newton (GN) optimisation of the non-linearised energy, consisting of the sum of squared differences (SSD) criterion and diffusion regularisa...

A Direct Geometric Algebra Optical Flow Solution

Optical flow is the vector inverse problem of estimation motion though an image sequence. Geometric Algebra is an appropriate mathematical language for describing and solving vector problems. In this paper we apply Geometric Algebra to optical flow and pose a direct solution using a simple smoothness constraint. Implementational considerations are given and comparative assessment is made to two...
