Efficient Computation of Optical Flow Using Complementary Voting
-
摘要: 描述了一个基于互补投票的高效、带有信赖度的光流计算方法,简称CMV方法.为了计算一个感兴趣区域的光流, 我们首先分割这个区域为若干个子区域,然后利用一个匹配策略计算每一个子区域的相似度分布.这些相似度分布被用来抽取两种类型的投票角色:正投票和负投票.随后,这两种投票角色在一个准则的控制下被用来获取一个最优的投票结果, 这个投票结果将决定光流及其信赖度. 为了削减CMV的计算复杂度,我们提出了一个基于正投票的(PV-based)负投票策略.实验结果显示,CMV方法能够有效计算低质量图像序列的光流,并且这个新的负投票策略在几乎没有影响性能的情况下极大地削减了算法的计算复杂度.Abstract: This paper describes an efficient complementary voting based estimation algorithm of optical flow with reliability mea- sure, called CMV. To estimate the optical flow of an interest region, we divide the region into subreferences, then compute the similarity profile for each subreference using a certain matching criterion. These similarity profiles are employed to extract two kinds of voting roles positive voting and negative voting. Subsequently, the two kinds of voting roles are carried out to obtain an optimal voting result which is used to estimate an optical flow and a reliability value under a control criterion. To reduce the computational complexity of the CMV, we propose a PV-based negative voting strategy. Experimental results show that the CMV is effective for estimating optical flow in poor-quality image sequence, and that the new negative voting strategy greatly reduces the computation complexity without degradation of the performance.
