Motion Vector Field Estimation Using Brightness Constancy Assumption and Epipolar Geometry Constraint
نویسندگان
چکیده
In most Photogrammetry and computer vision tasks, finding the corresponding points among images is required. Among many, the Lucas-Kanade optical flow estimation has been employed for tracking interest points as well as motion vector field estimation. This paper uses the IMU measurements to reconstruct the epipolar geometry and it integrates the epipolar geometry constraint with the brightness constancy assumption in the Lucas-Kanade method. The proposed method has been tested using the KITTI dataset. The results show the improvement in motion vector field estimation in comparison to the Lucas-Kanade optical flow estimation. The same approach has been used in the KLT tracker and it has been shown that using epipolar geometry constraint can improve the KLT tracker. It is recommended that the epipolar geometry constraint is used in advanced variational optical flow estimation methods.

متن کاملOver-Parameterized Optical Flow Using a Stereoscopic Constraint
The success of variational methods for optical flow computation lies in their ability to regularize the problem at a differential (pixel) level and combine piecewise smoothness of the flow field with the brightness constancy assumptions. However, the piecewise smoothness assumption is often motivated by heuristic or algorithmic considerations. Lately, new priors were proposed to exploit the str...

Motion estimation is usually based on the brightness constancy assumption. This assumption holds well for rigid objects with a Lambertian surface, but it is less appropriate for fluid and gaseous materials. For these materials a variant of this assumption, which we call the brightness conservation assumption should be employed. Under this assumption an object’s brightness can diffuse to its nei...

متن کاملA robust multiscale B-spline function decomposition for estimating motion transparency
Motion transparency phenomena in image sequences are frequent, but classical methods of motion estimation are unable to deal with them. This paper describes a method for estimating optical flow by a generalization of the brightness constancy assumption to additive transparencies. The brightness constancy assumption is obtained by setting constant velocity fields during three images of a sequenc...
