Fast Multi-frame Stereo Scene Flow with Motion Segmentation
We propose a new multi-frame method for efficiently computing scene flow
(dense depth and optical flow) and camera ego-motion for a dynamic scene
observed from a moving stereo camera rig. Our technique also segments out
moving objects from the rigid scene. In our method, we first estimate the
disparity map and the 6-DOF camera motion using stereo matching and visual
odometry. We then identify regions inconsistent with the estimated camera
motion and compute per-pixel optical flow only at these regions. This flow
proposal is fused with the camera motion-based flow proposal using fusion moves
to obtain the final optical flow and motion segmentation. This unified
framework benefits all four tasks - stereo, optical flow, visual odometry and
motion segmentation leading to overall higher accuracy and efficiency. Our
method is currently ranked third on the KITTI 2015 scene flow benchmark.
Furthermore, our CPU implementation runs in 2-3 seconds per frame which is 1-3
orders of magnitude faster than the top six methods. We also report a thorough
evaluation on challenging Sintel sequences with fast camera and object motion,
where our method consistently outperforms OSF [Menze and Geiger, 2015], which
is currently ranked second on the KITTI benchmark.Comment: 15 pages. To appear at IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern

Implementation and Qualitative/ Quantitative Comparison and Evaluation of Range Flow and Scene Flow
This thesis investigates the use of 3D scene flow and 3D range flow as a means of computing 3D observer (sensor or camera) motion. We implemented and evaluated the scene flow algorithm presented in Stereoscopic Scene Flow Computation for 3D Motion Understanding by Wedel et al. 2010. We modified (performed pyramidal image processing with warping) and re-implemented the range flow algorithms pre sented in Quantitative Regularized Range Flow by Spies et al. 2000. Both algorithms are 2-frame algorithms using a pyramid. The results for these scene and range flow algorithms were quantitatively and qualitatively compared on synthetic and real car driving stereo sequences
SceneFlowFields: Dense Interpolation of Sparse Scene Flow Correspondences
While most scene flow methods use either variational optimization or a strong
rigid motion assumption, we show for the first time that scene flow can also be
estimated by dense interpolation of sparse matches. To this end, we find sparse
matches across two stereo image pairs that are detected without any prior
regularization and perform dense interpolation preserving geometric and motion
boundaries by using edge information. A few iterations of variational energy
minimization are performed to refine our results, which are thoroughly
evaluated on the KITTI benchmark and additionally compared to state-of-the-art
on MPI Sintel. For application in an automotive context, we further show that
an optional ego-motion model helps to boost performance and blends smoothly
into our approach to produce a segmentation of the scene into static and
dynamic parts.Comment: IEEE Winter Conference on Applications of Computer Vision (WACV),
