We propose in this paper a new formulation of the equation of the optical flow enabling to compute global and local motions of multi-structure objects (flowers and petals, trees and leaves, ...). The displacement fields are computed using a Markovian Random Field (MRF) model. Local and global components of the vector flow are both explicitly retrieved. The minimization of the Gibbs energy is achieved with a down-scaling approach, in which we first analyze the motion of the compact object, the sub-structures' movement being retrieved in a second stage. We validate and demonstrate the efficiency of our approach on synthetic and real images for various applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
