Nonlinear motion estimation using the supercoupling approach

Abstract

This paper presents the application of a very efficient multiresolution transformation, which is related to the renormalization group approach of physics, to the problem of motion segmentation. The approach proposed is much faster and yields much better results than the full resolution approach. The problem is formulated as one of global optimization where a cost function is constructed to combine the information obtained by various processors as well as the constraints we impose to the problem. The cost function is optimized using the supercoupling multiresolution approach.
