Abstract

Using local motion information data such as that obtained from optical flow, we present a network for a multilayered segmentation into motion regions that are governed by affine motion patterns. Using an energy-based competitive multilayer architecture based on non-negative activations and multiplicative update rules, we show how the network can perform segmentation tasks that require a combination of affine estimation with local integration and competition constraints.
