Statistical Detection of Independent Movement from a Moving Camera

  • Conference paper
BMVC92

Abstract

This paper describes the use of a low level, computationally inexpensive closed form motion detector to define regions of interest within an image, based upon statistical measures. The algorithm requires only the first order properties of the image intensities and does not require known camera motion. It has been tested on a variety of real imagery. A b-spline snake is initialised on the occluding contours of this region of interest.
