Abstract

Motion transparency phenomena in image sequences are frequent, but classical methods of motion estimation are unable to deal with them. There is a need for more general techniques in order to solve this important problem. The method described here is based on an image sequence analysis in the frequency domain. It is mainly composed of a Stochastic-Expectation-Maximisation algorithm which provides a new statistical model for this problem. This method, despite its large execution time, offers some interesting results on artificial and natural image sequences.
