Partial constraints are often available in visual processing tasks requiring the matching of contours in two images. We propose a non- iterative scheme to determine contour matches using locally affine transformations. ...

In this paper we show that the optical flow, a 2D field that can be associated with the variation of the image brightness pattern, and the 2D motion field, the projection on the image plane of the 3D velocity field of ...

Image analysis problems, posed mathematically as variational principles or as partial differential equations, are amenable to numerical solution by relaxation algorithms that are local, iterative, and often parallel. ...

This paper presents some mathematical results concerning the measurement of motion of contours. A fundamental problem of motion measurement in general is that the velocity field is not determined uniquely from the ...

This paper introduces the video mesh, a data structure for representing video as 2.5D "paper cutouts." The video mesh allows interactive editing of moving objects and modeling of depth, which enables 3D effects and ...
