Abstract

Representing images with layers has many important applications,such as video compression, motion analysis, and3D scene analysis. This paper presents a robust subspaceapproach to reliably extracting layers from images by takingadvantages of the fact that homographies induced byplanar patches in the scene form a low dimensional linearsubspace. Such subspace provides not only a featurespace where layers in the image domain are mapped ontodenser and better-defined clusters, but also a constraint fordetecting outliers in the local measurements, thus makingthe algorithm robust to outliers. By enforcing the subspaceconstraint, spatial and temporal redundancy from multipleframes are simultaneously utilized, and noise can be effectivelyreduced. Good layer descriptions are shown to beextracted in the experimental results.
