Abstract

Motion Estimation is a popular technique for computing the displacement vectors between objects or attributes between images captured at subsequent time stamps. Block matching is a well known technique of motion estimation that has been successfully applied to several applications such as video coding, compression and object tracking. One of the major limitations of the algorithm is its ability to cope with deformation of objects or image attributes within the image. In this paper we present a novel scheme for block matching that combines genetic algorithms with affine transformations to accurate match blocks. The model is adapted into a multi-resolution framework and is applied to object tracking. A detailed analysis of the model alongside critical results illustrating its performance on several synthetic and real-time datasets is presented.
