MOTION SEGMENTATION IN SEQUENTIAL IMAGES BASED ON THE DIFFERENTIAL OPTICAL FLOW

Abstract

This work deals with motion detection from image sequences. An algorithm to estimate the optical flow using differential techniques is presented. Noise effects affecting motion detection were taken into account and provisions to minimize it were implemented. The algorithm was developed within the Matlab environment using mex-files to speed up calculations and it was applied to surveillance and urban traffic images. For the considered cases, the results were quite satisfactory.
