Determination of Optical Flow and Its Discontinuities Using Non-Linear Diffusion

Abstract

A new method for optical flow computation by means of a coupled set of non-linear diffusion equations is presented. This approach integrates the classical differential approach with the correlation type of motion detectors. A measure of inconsistency within the optical flow field which indicates optical flow boundaries. This information is fed back to the optical flow equations in a non-linear way and allows the flow field to be reconstructed while preserving the discontinuities. The whole scheme is also applicable to stereo matching. The model is applied to a set of synthetic and real image sequences to illustrate the behaviour of the coupled diffusion equations.
