Abstract

This paper formulates the optic flow problem as a set ofover-determined simultaneous linear equations. It then introduces andstudies two new robust optic flow methods. The first technique is based onusing the Least Median of Squares (LMedS) to detect the outliers. Then, theinlier group is solved using the least square technique. The second methodemploys a new robust statistical method named the Least Median of SquaresOrthogonal Distances (LMSOD) to identify the outliers and then uses totalleast squares to solve the optic flow problem. The performance of bothmethods are studied by experiments on synthetic and real image sequences.These methods outperform other published methods both in accuracy androbustness.
