Affine Models for Motion and Shape Recovery

چکیده
This paper presents an affine model for 3-D motion and shape recovery using two perspective views and their relative 2-D displacement field. The 2-D displacement vectors are estimated as parameters of a 2D affine model that generalizes standard block matching by allowing affine shape deformations of image blocks and affine intensity transformations. The matching block size is effectively found via morphological size histograms. The parameters of the 3-D affine model are estimated using a least-squares algorithm that requires solving a system of linear equations with rank three. Some stabilization of the recovered motion parameters under noise is achieved through a simple form of MAP estimation. A multi-scale searching in the parameter space is also used to improve accuracy without high computational cost. Experiments on applying these affine models to various real world image sequences demonstrate that they can estimate dense displacement fields and recover motion parameters and object shape with relatively small errors.

Motion Competition: Variational Integration of Motion Segmentation and Shape Regularization
We present a variational method for the segmentation of piecewise affine flow fields. Compared to other approaches to motion segmentation, we minimize a single energy functional both with respect to the affine motion models in the separate regions and with respect to the shape of the separating contour. In the manner of region competition, the evolution of the segmenting contour is driven by a ...

Digital watermarking techniques have been proposed to protect the copyright of multimedia data. Robustness against geometric distortion is one of the most important issues to be solved to increase the robustness of digital image watermarking systems. Such attacks are very simple to implement, so they can defeat most existing watermarking algorithms without causing serious perceptual distortion....

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 ...
