Optical flow estimation with occlusion or large displacement is a problematic challenge due to the lost of corresponding pixels between consecutive frames. In this paper, we discover that the lost information is related to a large quantity of motion features (more than 40%) computed from the popular discriminative cost-volume feature would completely vanish due to invalid sampling, leading to the low efficiency of optical flow learning. We call this phenomenon the Vanishing Cost Volume Problem. Inspired by the fact that local motion tends to be highly consistent within a short temporal window, we propose a novel iterative Motion Feature Recovery (MFR) method to address the vanishing cost volume via modeling motion consistency across multiple frames. In each MFR iteration, invalid entries from original motion features are first determined based on the current flow. Then, an efficient network is designed to adaptively learn the motion correlation to recover invalid features for lost-information restoration. The final optical flow is then decoded from the recovered motion features. Experimental results on Sintel and KITTI show that our method achieves state-of-the-art performances. In fact, MFR currently ranks second on Sintel public website.

In most of computer vision applications, motion blur is regarded as an undesirable artifact. However, it has been shown that motion blur in an image may have practical interests in fundamental computer vision problems. In this work, we propose a nove
l framework to estimate optical flow from a single motion-blurred image in an end-to-end manner. We design our network with transformer networks to learn globally and locally varying motions from encoded features of a motion-blurred input, and decode left and right frame features without explicit frame supervision. A flow estimator network is then used to estimate optical flow from the decoded features in a coarse-to-fine manner. We qualitatively and quantitatively evaluate our model through a large set of experiments on synthetic and real motion-blur datasets. We also provide in-depth analysis of our model in connection with related approaches to highlight the effectiveness and favorability of our approach. Furthermore, we showcase the applicability of the flow estimated by our method on deblurring and moving object segmentation tasks.
Nowadays 360 video analysis has become a significant research topic in the field since the appearance of high-quality and low-cost 360 wearable devices. In this paper, we propose a novel LiteFlowNet360 architecture for 360 videos optical flow estimat
ion. We design LiteFlowNet360 as a domain adaptation framework from perspective video domain to 360 video domain. We adapt it from simple kernel transformation techniques inspired by Kernel Transformer Network (KTN) to cope with inherent distortion in 360 videos caused by the sphere-to-plane projection. First, we apply an incremental transformation of convolution layers in feature pyramid network and show that further transformation in inference and regularization layers are not important, hence reducing the network growth in terms of size and computation cost. Second, we refine the network by training with augmented data in a supervised manner. We perform data augmentation by projecting the images in a sphere and re-projecting to a plane. Third, we train LiteFlowNet360 in a self-supervised manner using target domain 360 videos. Experimental results show the promising results of 360 video optical flow estimation using the proposed novel architecture.
In this work, we address the problem of outlier detection for robust motion estimation by using modern sparse-low-rank decompositions, i.e., Robust PCA-like methods, to impose global rank constraints. Robust decompositions have shown to be good at sp
litting a corrupted matrix into an uncorrupted low-rank matrix and a sparse matrix, containing outliers. However, this process only works when matrices have relatively low rank with respect to their ambient space, a property not met in motion estimation problems. As a solution, we propose to exploit the partial information present in the decomposition to decide which matches are outliers. We provide evidences showing that even when it is not possible to recover an uncorrupted low-rank matrix, the resulting information can be exploited for outlier detection. To this end we propose the Robust Decomposition with Constrained Rank (RD-CR), a proximal gradient based method that enforces the rank constraints inherent to motion estimation. We also present a general framework to perform robust estimation for stereo Visual Odometry, based on our RD-CR and a simple but effective compressed optimization method that achieves high performance. Our evaluation on synthetic data and on the KITTI dataset demonstrates the applicability of our approach in complex scenarios and it yields state-of-the-art performance.
Feature pyramids and iterative refinement have recently led to great progress in optical flow estimation. However, downsampling in feature pyramids can cause blending of foreground objects with the background, which will mislead subsequent decisions
in the iterative processing. The results are missing details especially in the flow of thin and of small structures. We propose a novel Residual Feature Pyramid Module (RFPM) which retains important details in the feature map without changing the overall iterative refinement design of the optical flow estimation. RFPM incorporates a residual structure between multiple feature pyramids into a downsampling module that corrects the blending of objects across boundaries. We demonstrate how to integrate our module with two state-of-the-art iterative refinement architectures. Results show that our RFPM visibly reduces flow errors and improves state-of-art performance in the clean pass of Sintel, and is one of the top-performing methods in KITTI. According to the particular modular structure of RFPM, we introduce a special transfer learning approach that can dramatically decrease the training time compared to a typical full optical flow training schedule on multiple datasets.
Optical flow estimation is a widely known problem in computer vision introduced by Gibson, J.J(1950) to describe the visual perception of human by stimulus objects. Estimation of optical flow model can be achieved by solving for the motion vectors fr
om region of interest in the the different timeline. In this paper, we assumed slightly uniform change of velocity between two nearby frames, and solve the optical flow problem by traditional method, Lucas-Kanade(1981). This method performs minimization of errors between template and target frame warped back onto the template. Solving minimization steps requires optimization methods which have diverse convergence rate and error. We explored first and second order optimization methods, and compare their results with Gauss-Newton method in Lucas-Kanade. We generated 105 videos with 10,500 frames by synthetic objects, and 10 videos with 1,000 frames from real world footage. Our experimental results could be used as tuning parameters for Lucas-Kanade method.
