Dense Range Flow from Depth and Intensity Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
The combined use of intensity and depth information greatly helps in the estimation of the local 3D movements (range flow) of moving surfaces. We demonstrate how the two can be combined in both a local total least squares algorithm and in an iterative global variational technique. While the first assumes locally constant flow the second method relies on a smoothly varying flow field. The improvement achieved through incorporating intensity is illustrated qualitatively and quantitatively on synthetic and real test data.

Colour Constrained 4D Flow
The addition of colour information to the computation of range/scene flow is proposed to improve its accuracy and robustness to ambiguities. This is applied in the form of additional optical flow constraints from aligned colour image data. Combining constraints gives improved velocity displacement fields for both synthetic and real datasets over using depth alone, or in using depth plus intensi...
متن کاملCP-Census: A Novel Model for Dense Variational Scene Flow from RGB-D Data
We present a novel method for dense variational scene flow estimation based a multiscale Ternary Census Transform in combination with a patchwise Closest Points depth data term. On the one hand, the Ternary Census Transform in the intensity data term is capable of handling illumination changes, low texture and noise. On the other hand, the patchwise Closest Points search in the depth data term ...
متن کاملLocal scene flow by tracking in intensity and depth
The scene flow describes the motion of each 3D point between two time steps. With the arrival of new depth sensors, as the Microsoft Kinect, it is now possible to compute scene flow with a single camera, with promising repercussion in a wide range of computer vision scenarios. We propose a novel method to compute a local scene flow by tracking in a Lucas-Kanade framework. Scene flow is estimate...
متن کاملStatistics in the Image Domain for Mobile Robot Environment Modeling
This paper addresses the problem of estimating dense range maps of indoor locations using only intensity images and sparse partial depth information. Unlike shape-fromshading, we infer the relationship between intensity and range data and use it to produce a complete depth map. We extend prior work by incorporating geometric information from the available range data, specifically, we add surfac...
متن کاملFlowCap: 2D Human Pose from Optical Flow
We estimate 2D human pose from video using only optical flow. The key insight is that dense optical flow can provide information about 2D body pose. Like range data, flow is largely invariant to appearance but unlike depth it can be directly computed from monocular video. We demonstrate that body parts can be detected from dense flow using the same random forest approach used by the Microsoft K...
