Constrained Structure and Motion Estimation from Optical Flow
نویسندگان
چکیده
Unbiased and consistent estimates of structure and motion can be obtained by least squares minimization of the differential epipolar constraint. Previous work on this subject does not make use of geometrical constraints that often are present in natural and man built scenes. This paper shows how linear constraints among feature points (collinearity and coplanarity) and bilinear relations among such entities (parallelism and incidence) can be incorporated in the minimization process to improve the structure and motion estimates. There are 2 main contributions: (i) the formulation of a constrained minimization problem for structure and motion estimation from optical flow and (ii) the solution of the optimization problem by LevenbergMarquardt and direct projection. We show that the proposed approach is stable, fast and efficient.

In this paper, we propose a new method for left ventricle (LV) motion estimation. The method is based on a pointconstrained optical flow algorithm for heart motion estimation. The constrained points are the corresponding point pairs in subsequent images. The motion estimation of these characteristic points can be obtained using techniques such as shapebased tracking of perceptually salient poin...

We present a generative method to estimate 3D human motion and body shape from monocular video. Under the assumption that starting from an initial pose optical flow constrains subsequent human motion, we exploit flow to find temporally coherent human poses of a motion sequence. We estimate human motion by minimizing the difference between computed flow fields and the output of an artificial flo...
