| Abstract |
Virtually all variational methods for motion estimation regularize the gradient of the
flow field, which introduces a bias towards piecewise constant motions in weakly
textured areas. We propose a novel regularization approach, based on decorrelated
second-order derivatives, that does not suffer from this shortcoming. We then derive an
efficient numerical scheme to solve the new model using projected gradient descent. A
comparison to a TV regularized model shows that the proposed second-order prior exhibits
superior performance, in particular in low-textured areas (where the prior becomes
important). Finally, we show that the proposed model yields state-of-the-art results on
the Middlebury optical flow database. |
