title="``Optical Snow'': Motion parallax and heading computation in densely cluttered scenes. -or- Why Computer Vision needs the Fourier Transform!">
|
||||||
|
<short>A talk by Richard Mann; School of Computer Science</short>

<abstract>

<p>
|
||||||
|
When an observer moves through a 3D scene, nearby surfaces move faster in the
|
||||||
|
image than do distant surfaces. This effect, called motion parallax, provides
|
||||||
|
an observer with information both about their own motion relative the scene,
|
||||||
|
and about the spatial layout and depth of surfaces in the scene.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
Classical methods for measuring image motion by computer have concentrated on
|
||||||
|
the cases of optical flow in which the motion field is continuous, or layered
|
||||||
|
motion in which the motion field is piecewise continuous. Here we introduce a
|
||||||
|
third natural category which we call ``optical snow''. Optical snow arises in
|
||||||
|
many natural situations such as camera motion in a highly cluttered 3-D scene,
|
||||||
|
or a passive observer watching a snowfall. Optical snow yields dense motion
|
||||||
|
parallax with depth discontinuities occurring near all image points. As such,
|
||||||
|
constraints on smoothness or even smoothness in layers do not apply.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
We present a Fourier analysis of optical snow. In particular we show that,
|
||||||
|
while such scenes appear complex in the time domain, there is a simple
|
||||||
|
structure in the frequency domain, and this may be used to determine the
|
||||||
|
direction of motion and the range of depths of objects in the scenes. Finally
|
||||||
|
we show how Fourier analysis of two or more image regions may be combined to
|
||||||
|
estimate heading direction.

||||||

This talk will present current research at the undergraduate level. All are
|
||||||
|
welcome to attend.
