OmniFlowNet: a Perspective Neural Network Adaptation for Optical Flow Estimation in Omnidirectional Images
2021
International audience; Spherical cameras and the latest image processing techniques open up new horizons. In particular, methods based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) now give excellent results for optical flow estimation on perspective images. However, these approaches are highly dependent on their architectures and training datasets. This paper proposes to benefit from years of improvement in perspective images optical flow estimation and to apply it to omnidirectional ones without training on new datasets. Our network, OmniFlowNet, is built on a CNN specialized in perspective images. Its convolution operation is adapted to be consistent with the equirectangular projection. Teste…
Adaptive motion estimation and video vector quantization based on spatiotemporal non-linearities of human perception
1997
The two main tasks of a video coding system are motion estimation and vector quantization of the signal. In this work a new splitting criterion to control the adaptive decomposition for the non-uniform optical flow estimation is exposed. Also, a novel bit allocation procedure is proposed for the quantization of the DCT transform of the video signal. These new approaches are founded on a perception model that reproduce the relative importance given by the human visual system to any location in the spatial frequency, temporal frequency and amplitude domain of the DCT transform. The experiments show that the proposed procedures behave better than their equivalent (fixed-block-size motion estim…
Methods cooperation for multiresolution motion estimation
2002
For a medical application, we are interested in an estimation of optical flow on a patient's face, particularly around the eyes. Among the methods of optical flow estimation, gradient estimation and block matching are the main methods. However, the gradient-based approach can only be applied for small displacements (one or two pixels). Gener- ally, the process of block matching leads to good results only if the searching strategy is judiciously selected. Our approach is based on a Markov random field model, combined with an algorithm of block match- ing in a multiresolution scheme. The multiresolution approach allows de- tection of a large range of speeds. The large displacements are detect…
