Abstract

A model for computing image flow in image sequencescontaining a very wide range of instantaneous flows is proposed. Thismodel integrates the spatio-temporal image derivatives from multipletemporal scales to provide both reliable and accurate instantaneousflow estimates. The integration employs robust regression andautomatic scale weighting in a generalized brightness constancyframework. In addition to instantaneous flow estimation the modelsupports recovery of dense estimates of image acceleration and can bereadily combined with parameterized flow and acceleration models. A demonstration of performance on image sequences of typical humanactions taken with a high frame-rate camera is given.
