Regularization terms for motion estimation. Links with spatial correlations
Abstract
Motion estimation from image data has been widely studied in the literature. Due to the aperture problem, one equation with two unknowns, a Tikhonov regularization is usually applied, which constrains the estimated motion field. The paper demonstrates that the use of regularization functions is equivalent to the definition of correlations between pixels and the formulation of the corresponding correlation matrices is given. This equivalence allows to better understand the impact of the regularization with a display of the correlation values as images. Such equivalence is of major interest in the context of image assimilation as these methods are based on the minimization of errors that are correlated on the space-time domain. It also allows to characterize the role of the errors during the assimilation process.
