Abstract
We present an approach to parallel variational optical-flow computation by using an arbitrary partition of the image plane and iteratively solving related local variational problems associated with each subdomain. The approach is particularly suited for implementations on PC clusters because interprocess communication is minimized by restricting the exchange of data to a lower dimensional interface. Our mathematical formulation supports various generalizations to linear/nonlinear convex variational approaches, three-dimensional image sequences, spatiotemporal regularization, and unstructured geometries and triangulations. Results concerning the effects of interface preconditioning, as well as runtime and communication volume measurements on a PC cluster, are presented. Our approach provides a major step toward real-time two-dimensional image processing using off-the-shelf PC hardware and facilitates the efficient application of variational approaches to large-scale image processing problems.
