  2. Motion Segmentation Gestalt insight:grouping forms the basis of human perception Gestalt Laws: Factors that affect the grouping process (cues) similarity proximity continuity common motion (common fate) Motion segmentation: segmenting images based on common motion points moving together are grouped together Typically, motion segmentation uses common motion + proximity

  9. Point Features gradients input point features capturing the information content • Popular features: • Harris corner feature [Harris & Stephens 1987, Schmid et al. 2000] • Shi-Tomasi feature [Shi & Tomasi 1994] • Forstner corner feature [Forstner 1994] • Scale invariant feature transform (SIFT) [Lowe 2000] • Gradient Location and Orientation Histogram (GLOH) [Mikolajczyk and Schmid 2005] • Features from accelerated segment test (FAST) [Rosten and Drummond 2005] • Speeded up robust features (SURF) [Bay et al. 2006] • DAISY [Tola et al. 2008]

  10. Utility of Point Features • Advantages: • highly repeatable and extensible (work for a variety of images) • efficient to compute (real time implementations available) • local methods for processing (tracking through multiple frames) tracking multiple point features = sparse optical flow sparse point feature tracks yield the image motion

  11. Tracking Point Features : Lucas-Kanade Assume constant brightness: image pixel displacement (optic flow constraint equation) image spatial derivatives image temporal derivative Estimate the pixel displacement u = ( u, v )T by minimizing: convolution kernel Differentiating with respect to u and v, setting the derivatives to zero leads to a linear system: Gradient covariance matrix Iterate using Newton-Raphson method

  12. 2 1 3 Z = intensity y x 2 3 1 intensity y x edge feature good feature no feature unidirectional intensity variation bidirectional intensity variation low intensity variation intensity emax = 1672.44, emin = 932.4 emax = 1026.9, emin = 29.9 emax = 5.15, emin = 3.13 y x two small eigenvalues a small and a large eigenvalue two large eigenvalues Detection of Point Features Gradient covariance matrix: Good feature: > eigenvalues of Z threshold image gradients convolution kernel

  13. Approximation leads to a sparse system: Dense Optical Flow: Horn-Schunck Horn-Schunck: find global displacement functions u(x,y) and v(x,y) by minimizing: regularization parameter data term (optical flow constraint) smoothness term Solve using Euler-Lagrange: Laplacian a constant average displacement in the neighborhood

  14. Need for a Joint Approach Lucas-Kanade (1981) Horn-Schunck (1981) • local method (local smoothing) • pixel displacement: constant within a small neighborhood • robust under noise • produces sparse optical flow • global method (global smoothing) • pixel displacement: a smooth function over the image domain • sensitive to noise • produces dense optical flow use global smoothing to improve feature tracking use local smoothing to improve dense optical flow Combined Local-Global approach (Bruhn et al., 2004) Joint Feature Tracking

  15. Joint Lucas-Kanade (JLK) Joint Lucas-Kanade energy functional: number of feature points expected values smoothness term (regularization) data term (optical flow constraint) Differentiating EJLK w.r.t. (u,v) gives a 2N x 2N system whose (2i-1) and (2i)th rows are given by: Sparse system is solved using Jacobi iterations

  18. P(Red|sample) P(sample|Red) P(Red) Mixture Models Basics sample Posterior Probability of drawing a Red sample likelihood of the sample being Red (measurement) prior probability of the Red bin how Red is the drawn sample? how big is the Red bin? 3 bins (components) probability of drawing a sample from a mixture of three bins: P(sample) = P(sample|Red)P(Red) + P(sample|Green) P(Green) + P(sample|Blue)P(Blue) Mixture Model: likelihoods and priors for all the components challenge: only available information is the drawn sample!

  19. Mixture Model Example: GMM θ4= {μ4, σ4} θ1= {μ1, σ1} θ2= {μ2, σ2} θ3= {μ3, σ3} grayscale values Gaussian density for the jth component: ith pixel conditioned on parameters of the jth Gaussian density Parameters of a Gaussian density, θ: mean (μ) and variance (σ2)

  20. parameter estimation class association (segmentation) Learning Mixture Models Mixture model defined as: number of components (known) observed data point (known) density parameters (unknown) mixing weights (unknown) component density Learning mixture models (parameter estimation): Estimate mixing weights and component density parameters Circular nature of the problem:

  21. M Step: Maximize the likelihood function (parameter estimation based on segmentation) E Step: Find expectation of the likelihood function (Segmentation / label assignment) convergence: when the likelihood cannot be further maximized (when estimates do not change between successive iterations ) Expectation Maximization EM: an iterative two step algorithm for parameter estimation • Initialize: • number of components K • component density parameters θ for all components • mixing weights π • convergence criterion • repeat until convergence • E STEP • for all N data points • i. compute likelihood from the component density • ii. estimate weights, w • M STEP • b. estimate mixing weights • c. estimate component density parameters

  22. Spatially Variant Finite Mixture Model (ML) ML-SVFMM [1] Spatially Variant Finite Mixture Model(MAP) MAP-SVFMM [1] Finite Mixture Model FMM Various Mixture Models data term (how closely the data follow the models) smoothness term (spatial interaction of the data elements) one prior for each component (mixing weights) prior distribution for each data element (label probabilities) neighbors mostly have similar labels (loose constraint) enforce spatial connectivity of labels Spatially Constrained Finite Mixture Model SCFMM Greedy EM algorithm EM algorithm • S. Sanjay-Gopal and T. Hebert, “Bayesian Pixel Classification Using Spatially Variant Finite Mixtures and Generalized EM Algorithm”, IEEE Tran. on Image Processing, 1998.

  23. start location 2 start location 3 start location 1 Greedy-EM (Iterative Region Growing) consider a 4-connected grid • Properties of Greedy EM: • enforces spatial connectivity of labels (SCFMM) • automatically determines the number of groups • local initialization of parameters • primary user defined parameters: • inclusion criterion • minimum number of elements in a group

  24. Between two frames, Repeat Randomly select seed feature Fit motion model to neighbors Repeat until group does not change: Discard all features except the one near the centroid Grow group by recursively including neighboring features with similar motion Update the motion model Until all features have been considered centroid centroid centroid centroid centroid original seed original seed original seed original seed original seed original seed Grouping Point Features grouping features from a single seed point

  25. seed 2 seed 1 seed 3 Grouping Consistent Features • input: point features tracked between two frames • output: groups of point features • for N seed points • group point features • gather sets of features always grouped together consistent feature group
