Multi-Valued Motion Fields Estimation for Transparent Sequences with a Variational Approach
Abstract
Most optical flow algorithms provide flow fields as single valued functions of the image sequence domains. Only a very few of them attempt to recover multiple motion vectors at given location, which is necessary when some transparent layers are moving independently. In this report we introduce a novel framework for modeling multivalued motion fields, and propose an energy minimization formulation with smoothing terms and terms implementing velocity model competition. We illustrate the capabilities of this approach on synthetic and real sequences.
