Optical Flow by Plane-based Spatio-Temporal Correlation

Abstract

The approach of spatio-temporal correlaton (STC) in which the object's flow is supposed to be point-symmetry for the searching point(pixel) has been proposed to improve the flow estimation of moving object. However, in the STC the shape of object becomes complex as Tree, the flows causes many errors. In this paper, we propose a plane-based spatio-temporal correlaton (PSTC) to cope with this. We show that the PSTC effectively estimates the flows of blurred “Tree" with Gaussian function through the experiments.
