Abstract

We introduce a new method to determine the flow field of an image sequence using multi-scale anchor points. These anchor points manifest themselves in the scale-space representation of an image. The novelty of our method lies largely in the fact that the relation between the scale-space anchor points and the flow field is formulated in terms of soft constraints in a variational method. This leads to an algorithm for the computation of the flow field that differs fundamentally from previously proposed ones based on hard constraints. We show a significant performance increase when our method is applied to the Yosemite image sequence, a standard and well-established benchmark sequence in optic flow research.
