A Block-Based Motion Estimator Capable of Handling Occlusions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a new block-based motion estimation strategy, which aims a t correctly finding the velocity of picture blocks, even for background blocks in occlusion areas. This tritemporal ME calculates the motion between two pictures, switching the ME reference plane dependent on an occlu.sion detector. \lie also introduce a retimer, which can transform, locally in the picture, motion vectors valid for one time instant to another time instant. The retimer uses a foreground/background detector, of which we describe three varieties. Occlusion is a problem that plagues all block based motion estimation methods, and hence we see a utility of our method for applications like e.g. picture rate conversion, video compression, 3D matching or image sequence object extraction. An evaluation of the tritemporal estima-tor is included.

A Multiple Motion Model Tracker Handling Occlusion and Rapid Motion Variation
We propose a new tracking method capable of handling occlusions and non-constant target motion. This is achieved using multiple simple motion models, learned at different temporal scales and combined to capture possibly complex motion patterns. These motion models are learned online in a computationally inexpensive manner. Reliable recovery of tracking after occlusions is achieved by extending ...

Abstract. This master thesis discribes a new dense spatio-temporal motion segmentation algorithm with application to tracking of people in crowded environments. The algorithm is based on state-of-the-art motion and image segmentation algorithms. We specifically make use of a mean shift image segmentation algorithm and two graph based motion segmentation algorithms. The resulting motion segmenta...

We propose a wavelet based regression function estimator for the estimation of the regression function for a sequence of ?-missing random variables with a common one-dimensional probability density function. Some asymptotic properties of the proposed estimator based on block thresholding are investigated. It is found that the estimators achieve optimal minimax convergence rates over large class...

This paper presents an adaptive motion estimator that can be dynamically reconfigured by the best algorithm depending on the variation of the video nature during the lifetime of an application under running. The 4 Step Search (4SS) and the Gradient Search (GS) algorithms are integrated in the estimator in order to be used in the case of rapid and slow video sequences respectively. The Full Sear...

In this paper, based on the analysis to relationship between the currently being processed block and its neighbors, a motion vector context-based adaptive 3-D recursive search (MVCA-3DRS) block matching motion estimation algorithm is developed. In the proposed algorithm, the candidate vectors are partitioned into two categories, one stationary vector implying the current block belongs to one of...
