In the new algorithm, the objects in the scene may exhibit rotation and translation in all three dimensions. In addition, interframe displacement may be large-of the order of many pixels. It is assumed that there is a known upper bound on the magnitudes of the x and y components of interframe displacement. The authors conducted tests to compare the performance of the algorithm with that of two prior algorithms for optical flow estimation. They present the results of these tests. The results suggest that the algorithm is an improvement over prior algorithms in its ability to compute the optical flow field accurately under several commonly encountered scene conditions that have posed problems to earlier algorithms for optical flow estimation.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":410961,"journal":{"name":"[1992] Proceedings. 11th IAPR International Conference on Pattern Recognition","volume":"89 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114003387","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents a model named active tubes for this purpose. It analyzes the temporal context in a spatio-temporal solid using an energy minimizing model like the snakes model of M. Kass, A. Witkin and D. Terzopoulos (1988). Active tubes constitute accumulations of snakes along the time axis using the temporal context. An input image sequence should be handled as a single image solid. In spatio-temporal solids, a locus of the moving object constitutes a 3D region. This removes the problem of feature correspondence. The problem of extracting and tracking the motion of objects in an image sequence can be replaced by the problem of segmenting the spatio-temporal solid.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":410961,"journal":{"name":"[1992] Proceedings. 11th IAPR International Conference on Pattern Recognition","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126155419","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The authors have applied the algorithm to three-dimensional measurement of optic nerve heads using stereo fundus images. The experimental results shows that the proposed stereo algorithm together with various means of displaying the results could give useful information for diagnosing and monitoring glaucoma.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":410961,"journal":{"name":"[1992] Proceedings. 11th IAPR International Conference on Pattern Recognition","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128780661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since the stream of images observed continuously along the route is highly redundant, it is transformed into an intermediate 2(1/2)D representation, called panoramic representation with a much less amount of data. A structure map representing the object arrangement in space is then yielded in terms of 3D objects along the route found in the panoramic representation by fusing their range estimates and color attributes. By examining the spatial relationships, shapes and color attributes of the objects in the structure map, distinctive objects are selected as the landmarks. The route described by selected landmarks are recognized successfully, although the speed of camera motion and the illumination condition are changed considerably.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":410961,"journal":{"name":"[1992] Proceedings. 11th IAPR International Conference on Pattern Recognition","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130487825","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Linear filtering along the directions of the grid is used to extract a mask of the grid pattern.

The new method has the following characteristics: (1) one can separate and extract images of two crossing vehicles from a sequence of images. (2) the complete image of a large or complex vehicle can be successfully extracted under typical daylight variations. In order to test the applicability of the extracted images, the authors classify passenger car types.
