COMPUTER VISION ANALYSIS OF IMAGE MOTION BY VARIATIONAL METHODS
/ MITICHE, AMAR
: 2014
ABSTRACT / INHALTSTEXT
THIS BOOK PRESENTS A UNIFIED VIEW OF IMAGE MOTION ANALYSIS UNDER THE
VARIATIONAL FRAMEWORK. VARIATIONAL METHODS, ROOTED IN PHYSICS AND
MECHANICS, BUT APPEARING IN MANY OTHER DOMAINS, SUCH AS STATISTICS,
CONTROL, AND COMPUTER VISION, ADDRESS A PROBLEM FROM AN OPTIMIZATION
STANDPOINT, I.E., THEY FORMULATE IT AS THE OPTIMIZATION OF AN OBJECTIVE
FUNCTION OR FUNCTIONAL. THE METHODS OF IMAGE MOTION ANALYSIS DESCRIBED
IN THIS BOOK USE THE CALCULUS OF VARIATIONS TO MINIMIZE (OR MAXIMIZE) AN
OBJECTIVE FUNCTIONAL WHICH TRANSCRIBES ALL OF THE CONSTRAINTS THAT
CHARACTERIZE THE DESIRED MOTION VARIABLES. THE BOOK ADDRESSES THE FOUR
CORE SUBJECTS OF MOTION ANALYSIS: MOTION ESTIMATION, DETECTION,
TRACKING, AND THREE-DIMENSIONAL INTERPRETATION. EACH TOPIC IS COVERED IN
A DEDICATED CHAPTER. THE PRESENTATION IS PREFACED BY AN INTRODUCTORY
CHAPTER WHICH DISCUSSES THE PURPOSE OF MOTION ANALYSIS. FURTHER, A
CHAPTER IS INCLUDED WHICH GIVES THE BASIC TOOLS AND FORMULAE RELATED TO
CURVATURE, EULER LAGRANGE EQUATIONS, UNCONSTRAINED DESCENT OPTIMIZATION,
AND LEVEL SETS, THAT THE VARIATIONAL IMAGE MOTION PROCESSING METHODS USE
REPEATEDLY IN THE BOOK
DIESES SCHRIFTSTUECK WURDE MASCHINELL ERZEUGT.
