Properties of Independent Components of Self-Motion Optical Flow

چکیده
In this paper we describe the properties of independent components of optical ow of moving objects. Video sequences of objects seen by an observer moving at various angles, directions and distances are used to produce optical ow maps. These maps are then processed using independent component analysis, which yields lters that resemble the receptive elds of dorsal medial superior temporal cells of the primate brain. Contraction, expansion, rotation and translation receptive elds have been identi ed. Our results support Barlow's sensory coding theory and are in-line with other work on independent components of image and video intensities.

Robot Motion Vision Part II: Implementation
The idea of Fixation introduced a direct method for general recovery of shape and motion from images without using either feature correspondence or optical flow [1,2]. There are some parameters which have important effects on the performance of fixation method. However, the theory of fixation does not say anything about the autonomous and correct choice of those parameters. This paper presents ...
متن کاملComputation Optical Flow Using Pipeline Architecture
Accurate estimation of motion from time-varying imagery has been a popular problem in vision studies, This information can be used in segmentation, 3D motion and shape recovery, target tracking, and other problems in scene analysis and interpretation. We have presented a dynamic image model for estimating image motion from image sequences, and have shown how the solution can be obtained from a ...
متن کاملRobot Motion Vision Pait I: Theory
A direct method called fixation is introduced for solving the general motion vision problem, arbitrary motion relative to an arbitrary environment. This method results in a linear constraint equation which explicitly expresses the rotational velocity in terms of the translational velocity. The combination of this constraint equation with the Brightness-Change Constraint Equation solves the gene...
متن کاملMotion Segmentation from Optical Flow
This note describes two different methods for motion segmentation from optical flow. In the first method, the Jacobian matrix of the first spatial derivatives of the components of optical flow is used to compute the amount of uniform expansion, pure rotation, and shear at every flow point. In the second description, local properties of optical flow which are invariant for non-singular linear tr...
متن کاملMotion Detection Techniques Using Optical Flow
Motion detection is very important in image processing. One way of detecting motion is using optical flow. Optical flow cannot be computed locally, since only one independent measurement is available from the image sequence at a point, while the flow velocity has two components. A second constraint is needed. The method used for finding the optical flow in this project is assuming that the appa...
