Robust Optical Flow Estimation Using Invariant Feature
نویسندگان
چکیده
Traditional methods for computing optical flow are mainly based on image brightness constancy. In the real world the brightness constancy usually does not hold. Here we present the idea of using invariant feature based on the brightness change model to estimate the optical flow. Both the mathematical derivation and the experiments show that the new model is better than brightness based optical flow constraint.

Multi-Resolution Estimation of Optical Flow for Vehicle Tracking
This paper presents a hierarchical multi-resolution estimation of optical flow for a vehicle tracking system which can be used in a practical environment. Aiming at accurate estimation of optical flow, we construct a strong feature tracking system based on the Shi-Tomasi approach. As a feature detector, we use a Scale-Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) algorithm, which not only firmly focuses o...
متن کاملPyramidal Gradient Matching for Optical Flow Estimation
Initializing optical flow field by either sparse descriptor matching or dense patch matches has been proved to be particularly useful for capturing large displacements. In this paper, we present a pyramidal gradient matching approach that can provide dense matches for highly accurate and efficient optical flow estimation. A novel contribution of our method is that image gradient is used to desc...

Action representation for robust human activity recognition is still a challenging problem. This thesis proposed a new feature for human activity recognition named SIFTMotion Estimation (SIFT-ME). SIFT-ME is derived from SIFT correspondences in a sequence of video frames and adds tracking information to describe human body motion. This feature is an extension of SIFT and is used to represent bo...
متن کاملDense Descriptors for Optical Flow Estimation: A Comparative Study
Estimating the displacements of intensity patterns between sequential frames is a very well-studied problem, which is usually referred to as optical flow estimation. The first assumption among many of the methods in the field is the brightness constancy during movements of pixels between frames. This assumption is proven to be not true in general, and therefore, the use of photometric invariant...
متن کاملA Study of Feature Extraction Algorithms for Optical Flow Tracking
Sparse optical flow algorithms, such as the Lucas-Kanade approach, provide more robustness to noise than dense optical flow algorithms and are the preferred approach in many scenarios. Sparse optical flow algorithms estimate the displacement for a selected number of pixels in the image. These pixels can be chosen randomly. However, pixels in regions with more variance between the neighbors will...
