Linearized Motion Estimation for Articulated Planes

Motion estimation by precoded image planes matching

This paper presents a new approach for block based motion estimation based on Boolean matching in precoded image planes. It is proposed to add redundancy to the pixel representation for the purpose of motion estimation computation reduction. Images are pre-coded lo enable a Boolean-only matching criterion that approximates the mean absolute difference. Fast matching criteria evaluation with a s...

Methods for Recognizing Pose and Action of Articulated Objects with Collection of Planes in Motion

Adaptive search area for fast motion estimation

In this paper a new method for determining the search area for motion estimation algorithm based on block matching is suggested. In the proposed method the search area is adaptively found for each block of a frame. This search area is similar to that of the full search (FS) algorithm but smaller for most blocks of a frame. Therefore, the proposed algorithm is analogous to FS in terms of reg...

Articulated Structure From Motion

Acknowledgements My sincerest thanks go out to the following people—some were involved in starting me off on this road, others in keeping me going and others still in pushing me to the destination. gave me enough rope and always had faith—even when mine was waning. To Konrad Scheffler, who acted as advisor and sounding board and whose ability is surpassed only by his willingness. Professor Ben ...

Interpolation synthesis for articulated figure motion

Realistic real time articulatedfigure motion is achieved by reprocessing a stored database of motions. Motions are created to exact specification by interpolation from a set of example motions, effectively forming a parameterized motion model. A pre-processing step involving iterative calculations is used to allow efficient direct computations at run time. An inverse kinematics capability is sh...
