Cyclic Motion Detection Using Spatiotemporal Surfaces and Curves
نویسنده
چکیده
The problem of detecting cyclic motion, while recognized by the psychophysical community, has received very little attention in the computer vision community. In this paper cyclic motion is formally defined as repeating curvature values along a path of motion. A procedure is presented for cyclic motion detection using spatiotemporal (ST) surfaces and ST-curves. The projected movement of an object generates ST-surfaces. ST-curves are detected on the ST-surfaces, providing an accurate, compact, qualitative description of the ST-surfaces. Curvature scale-space of the ST-curves is then used to detect intervals of repeating curvature values. The successful detection of cyclic motion in two data sets is presented.

IMAGE SEQUENCE DESCRIPTION USING SPATIOTEMPORAL FLOW CURVES: TOWARD MOTION-BASED RECOGNITION By
Recovering a hierarchical motion description of a long image sequence is one way to recognize objects and their motions. Intermediate-level and high-level motion analysis, i.e., recognizing a coordinated sequence of events such as walking and throwing, has been formulated previously as a process that follows high-level object recognition. This thesis develops an alternative approach to intermed...
متن کاملDetecting Kinetic Occlusion
Visual motion boundaries provide a powerful cue for the perceptual organization of scenes. Motion boundaries are present when surfaces in motion occlude one another. Conventional approaches to motion analysis have relied on assumptions of data conservation and smoothness, which has made analysis of motion boundaries diicult. We show that a common source of motion boundary, kinetic occlu-sion, c...
متن کاملThe independent detection of motion energy and counterchange: Flexibility in motion detection
Motion perception is determined by changing patterns of neural activation initiated by spatiotemporal changes in stimulus features. Motion specified by 1st-order motion energy entails neural patterns that are initiated by spatiotemporal changes in luminance, whereas motion specified by counterchange entails oppositely signed changes in neural activation that can be initiated by spatiotemporal c...
متن کاملMotion Feature Detection Using Steerable Flow Fields
The estimation and detection of occlusion boundaries and moving bars are important and challenging problems in image sequence analysis. Here, we model such motion features as linear combinations of steerable basis flow fields. These models constrain the interpretation of image motion, and are used in the same way as translational or affine motion models. We estimate the subspace coefficients of...
متن کاملAutomatic detection of liver tumor motion by fluoroscopy images
Background: A method to track liver tumor motion signals from fluoroscopic images without any implanted gold fiducial markers was proposed in this study to overcome the adverse effects on precise tumor irradiation caused by respiratory movement. Materials and Methods: The method was based on the following idea: (i) Before treatment, a series of fluoroscopic images corresponding to different bre...
