Abstract
The scene flow in binocular stereo setup is estimated using
a seed growing algorithm. A pair of calibrated and synchronized
cameras observe a scene and output a sequence of images.
The algorithm jointly computes a disparity map between
the stereo images and optical flow maps between consecutive
frames. Having the calibration, this is a representation
of the scene flow, i.e. a 3D velocity vector is associated
with each reconstructed 3D point.
The proposed algorithm starts from correspondence seeds
and propagates the correspondences to the neighborhood. It is
accurate for complex scenes with large motion and produces
temporally coherent stereo disparity and optical flow results.
The algorithm is fast due to inherent search space reduction.
