Finding Moving Shapes by Continuous-Model Evidence Gathering

Finding Moving Shapes by Continuous-Model Evidence Gathering
Two recent approaches are combined in a new technique to find moving arbitrary shapes. We combine the Velocity Hough Transform, which extracts moving conic sections, with a continuous formulation for arbitrary shape extraction, which avoids discretisation errors associated with GHT methods. The new approach has been evaluated on synthetic and real imagery and is demonstrated to provide motion analysis that is resilient to noise and to be able to detect its target shapes, which are both moving and arbitrary. Further, it is shown to have performance advantages over contemporaneous single-image extraction techniques. Finally, it appears to offer improved immunity to noise and occlusion, consistent with evidence gathering techniques, as shown by results on real images.

Abstract

Two recent approaches are combined in a new technique to find moving arbitrary shapes. We combine the Velocity Hough Transform, which extracts moving conic sections, with a continuous formulation for arbitrary shape extraction, which avoids discretisation errors associated with GHT methods. The new approach has been evaluated on synthetic and real imagery and is demonstrated to provide motion analysis that is resilient to noise and to be able to detect its target shapes, which are both moving and arbitrary. Further, it is shown to have performance advantages over contemporaneous single-image extraction techniques. Finally, it appears to offer improved immunity to noise and occlusion, consistent with evidence gathering techniques, as shown by results on real images.
