Abstract

Vector median filtering has been recently proposed as an effective method to refine estimated velocity fields. Here, the use of a weighted vector median filtering is suggested to improve the regularization of the optic flow field across motion boundaries. Information about the confidence of the estimated pixel velocities is exploited for the choice of the filter weights. Experimental results, on both synthetic and real-world sequences, show the effectiveness of the proposed procedure
