Simultaneous optical flow and source estimation: Space–time discretization and preconditioning
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the simultaneous estimation of an optical flow field and an illumination source term in a movie sequence. The particular optical flow equation is obtained by assuming that the image intensity is a conserved quantity up to possible sources and sinks which represent varying illumination. We formulate this problem as an energy minimization problem and propose a space-time simultaneous discretization for the optimality system in saddle-point form. We investigate a preconditioning strategy that renders the discrete system well-conditioned uniformly in the discretization resolution. Numerical experiments complement the theory.

متن کاملSimultaneous Higher-Order Optical Flow Estimation and Decomposition
Abstract. We study the estimation and decomposition of optical flows from highly nonrigid motions. To this end, recent methods from image decomposition into structural and textural parts are combined with variational optical flow estimation. The approaches we suggest amount to minimizing discrete convex functionals using second-order cone programming. Higher-order regularization is necessary in...

A finite-volume model has been developed to study incompressible forced flow heat transfer of air over a circular cylinder in cross flow. An artificial compressibility technique is applied to couple the continuity to the momentum equations. The proposed explicit finite-volume method (FVM) uses a novel discretization in time and space. The governing equations are solved by time-marching using a ...

Preconditioning methods have become the method of choice for the solution of flowfields involving the simultaneous presence of low Mach number flow and transonic flow regions. It is well known that these methods are important for insuring accurate numerical discretization as well as convergence efficiency over various operating conditions such as low Mach number, low Reynolds number and high St...
