Method Description:
We study an energy functional for computing
optical flow that combines three assumptions: a
brightness constancy assumption, a gradient
constancy assumption, and a discontinuity-
preserving spatio-temporal smoothness constraint.
In order to allow for large displacements,
linearisations in the two data terms are strictly
avoided. We present a consistent numerical scheme
based on two nested fixed point iterations. By
proving that this scheme implements a coarse-to-
fine warping strategy, we give a theoretical
foundation for warping which has been used on a
mainly experimental basis so far. Our evaluation
demonstrates that the novel method gives
significantly smaller angular errors than previous
techniques for optical flow estimation. We show
that it is fairly insensitive to parameter
variations, and we demonstrate its excellent
robustness under noise.

Detailed Results

This page provides detailed results for the method(s) selected. For the first 20 test images, the percentage of erroneous pixels is depicted in the table. We use the error metric described in Object Scene Flow for Autonomous Vehicles (CVPR 2015), which considers a pixel to be correctly estimated if the disparity or flow end-point error is <3px or <5% (for scene flow this criterion needs to be fulfilled for both disparity maps and the flow map). Underneath, the left input image, the estimated results and the error maps are shown (for disp_0/disp_1/flow/scene_flow, respectively). The error map uses the log-color scale described in Object Scene Flow for Autonomous Vehicles (CVPR 2015), depicting correct estimates (<3px or <5% error) in blue and wrong estimates in red color tones. Dark regions in the error images denote the occluded pixels which fall outside the image boundaries. The false color maps of the results are scaled to the largest ground truth disparity values / flow magnitudes.
