Regularized motion estimation using robust entropic functionals
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, the regularized estimation of the displacement vector field (DVF) of a dynamic image sequence is considered. A new class of non-quadratic convex regularization functionals is employed to estimate the motion field in the presence of motion discontinuities and occlusions. The derivation of the functionals is based on entropy considerations and do not require parameter tuning as in previously proposed methods. This new class of functionals is both robust and convex making it possible to preserve motion boundaries and obtain a globally optimum solution. The performance of entropic functionals is compared to previously suggested functionals for motion estimation using real and synthetic image sequences.

Regularized blur-assisted displacement field estimation
Due to the finite acquisition time of practical cameras, objects can move during image acquisition, therefore introducing motion blur degradations. Traditionally, these degradations are treated as undesirable artifacts that should be removed before fllrther processing. In this work, we consider the use of motion blur as an indication of scene motion. JVe present two robust regularized motion es...
متن کاملRegularized Autoregressive Multiple Frequency Estimation
The paper addresses a problem of tracking multiple number of frequencies using Regularized Autoregressive (RAR) approximation. The RAR procedure allows to decrease approximation bias, comparing to other AR-based frequency detection methods, while still providing competitive variance of sample estimates. We show that the RAR estimates of multiple periodicities are consistent in probabilit...
متن کاملRegularized Pel-Recursive Motion Estimation Using Generalized Cross-Validation and Spatial Adaptation
The computation of 2-D optical flow by means of regularized pel-recursive algorithms raises a host of issues, which include the treatment of outliers, motion discontinuities and occlusion among other problems. We propose a new approach which allows us to deal with these issues within a common framework. Our approach is based on the use of a technique called Generalized Cross-Validation to estim...
متن کاملA Smoothed Dual Approach for Variational Wasserstein Problems
Variational problems that involve Wasserstein distances have been recently proposed to summarize and learn from probability measures. Despite being conceptually simple, such problems are computationally challenging because they involve minimizing over quantities (Wasserstein distances) that are themselves hard to compute. We show that the dual formulation of Wasserstein variational problems int...
