In this paper, we propose a new variational formulation for simultaneous multiple motion segmentation and occlusion detection in an image sequence. For the representation of segmented regions, we use the multiphase level set method proposed by Vese and Chan. This method allows an efficient representation of up to 2 regions with L level-set functions. Moreover, by construction, it enforces a dom...

Using variational analysis, we study the linear regularity for a collection of finitely many closed sets. In particular, we extend duality characterizations of the linear regularity for a collection of finitely many closed convex sets to the possibly nonconvex setting. Moreover the sharpest linear regularity constant can also be dually represented under the subsmoothness assumption.

A bounded-level-set result for a reformulation of the box-constrained variational inequality problem proposed recently by Facchinei, Fischer and Kanzow is proved. An application of this result to the (unbounded) nonlinear complementarity problem is suggested.

1 Variational principles, Surface Evolution, PDE's, level set methods and the Stereo Problem Olivier Faugeras and Renaud Keriven Abstract We present a novel geometric approach for solving the stereo problem for an arbitrary number of images (greater than or equal to 2). It is based upon the de nition of a variational principle that must be satis ed by the surfaces of the objects in the scene an...

we introduce an implicit method for nding a common element of the set of solutions of systems of equilibrium problems and the set of common xed points of a sequence of nonexpansive mappings and a representation of nonexpansive mappings. then we prove the strong convergence of the proposed implicit schemes to the unique solution of a variational inequality, which is the optimality condition fo...

In this paper we extend the two dimensional methods set forth in [4], proposing a variational approach to a path planning problem in three dimensions using a level set framework. After defining an energy integral over the path, we use gradient flow on the defined energy and evolve the entire path until a locally optimal steady state is reached. We follow the framework for motion of curves in th...

In this paper we propose a variational approach to a path planning problem in 2 dimensions using a level set framework. After defining an energy integral over the path, we use gradient flow on the defined energy and evolve the entire path until a locally optimal steady state is reached. Unlike typical level set implementations where the interface being tracked is a codimension-1 set, we allow f...
