Direct detection of flow discontinuities by 3D curvature operators
by ,
Abstract:
We present an approach for the direct detection of flow discontinuities which avoids explicit computation of a dense optic flow field. It is based on regarding the time varying image as a hypersurface in four-dimensional space and on using the Gaussian curvature properties of this hypersurface as a direct indicator for the presence of motion discontinuities. An easy to implement, nonlinear operator is suggested and possible extensions of the basic scheme are discussed.
