Abstract

We segment the trajectory of a moving object into piece-wise smooth motion intervals separated by motion boundaries . Motion boundaries are classified into various types, including starts, stops, pauses, and discontinuous changes of motion due to force impulses. We localize and classify motion boundaries by fitting a mixture of two polynomials near the boundary. Given a classification of motion boundaries, we use naive physical rules to infer a set of changing contact relationships which explain the observed motion. We show segmentation and classification results for several image sequences of a basketball undergoing gravitational and nongravitational motion.
