Problems solved by technology

However, the assumption of spatial coherence does not hold at motion boundaries, which often coincide with object boundaries and can lead to overly smooth (especially at motion boundaries) motion fields

Abstract

Aspects of the present invention are related to low complexity systems and methods for nonlinear diffusion filtering of a motion-vector field. Local weights in the nonlinear diffusion filter may be data-adaptive, and, according to one aspect of the present invention, may be determined such that spatial coherency may not be enforced at object boundaries although the object boundaries have not been explicitly detected. Thus, the methods and systems of the present invention may smooth a motion-vector field without smoothing the motion-vector field across an object boundary. According to a second aspect of the present invention, motion vectors with a low confidence value may be suppressed, while motion vectors with a high confidence value may be propagated. According to another aspect of the present invention, motion estimation methods and systems may incorporate the methods and systems of the nonlinear diffusion filtering according to the present invention.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the invention generally relate to methods and systems for motion estimation, and in particular to methods and systems for motion estimation with motion field smoothing. Background technique [0002] In motion estimation (also called optical flow estimation and displacement estimation), correspondences between areas in different video frames (also called images) in a video sequence can be determined. In addition to camera motion, object motion in the actual scene captured in a video sequence can also cause movement of visual patterns in video frames. The goal of true motion estimation may be to estimate the two-dimensional (2D) motion of a visual pattern from one frame to another, such that the estimated 2D motion may be a projection of the actual three-dimensional (3D) scene motion. Local motion estimation refers to the estimation of the motion vector for a small image area (eg, a single pixel or a small pixel block). Exemplary small bl...
