Paper Abstract

A two-stage process involving Bayesian estimates of smooth velocity vectors is used to detect physical object movements in an image sequence containing noisy background motions. This process computes the probability that a velocity vector is `smooth' with respect to a vector in the previous frame. Those vectors with a high probability are assembled into `paths' and paths longer than a threshold are retained. When this process is applied to the output of a velocity- sensitive network, random movements from the background are filtered out from the sequence, retaining only the smooth motion vectors.
