title: Optical Flow Estimation versus Motion Estimation creator: Sellent, Anita creator: Kondermann, Daniel creator: Simon, Stephan creator: Baker, Simon creator: Dedeoglu, Goksel creator: Erdler, Oliver creator: Parsonage, Phil creator: Unger, Christoph creator: Niehsen, Wolfgang subject: 620 subject: 620 Engineering and allied operations description: Optical flow estimation is often understood to be identical to dense image based motion estimation. However, only under certain assumptions does optical flow coincide with the projection of the actual 3D motion to the image plane. Most prominently, transparent and glossy scene-surfaces or changes in illumination introduce a difference between the motion of objects in the world and the apparent motion. In this paper we summarize the types of problems occuring in this field and show examples for illustration. date: 2012 type: Other type: info:eu-repo/semantics/report type: NonPeerReviewed format: application/pdf identifier: https://archiv.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/volltextserverhttps://archiv.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/volltextserver/13641/1/OF_vs_ME.pdf identifier: DOI:10.11588/heidok.00013641 identifier: urn:nbn:de:bsz:16-opus-136414 identifier: Sellent, Anita ; Kondermann, Daniel ; Simon, Stephan ; Baker, Simon ; Dedeoglu, Goksel ; Erdler, Oliver ; Parsonage, Phil ; Unger, Christoph ; Niehsen, Wolfgang (2012) Optical Flow Estimation versus Motion Estimation.
