To improve the accuracy and robustness of optical flow estimation under large displacements and motion occlusions
this paper proposes a pyramid patch-matching optical flow estimation method based on occlusion optimization. First
the pyramid patch matching method is adopted to obtain the initial matching motion field
and the occlusion detection model is designed to optimize the matching motion field by removing the false matching points from the initial matching motion field. Second
a robust interpolation scheme with edge-preserving is planned to achieve the dense optical flow field. Third
the global energy function is projected to gain the global optimization optical flow. Finally
the Middlebury
MPI-Sintel and KITTI test datasets are employed to conduct a comprehensive comparison between the proposed method and the representative variation
patch matching and CNN-based optical flow methods. The experimental results show that the proposed method effectively improves the accuracy and robustness of optical flow estimation under large displacements and motion occlusions.
