TRUE MOTION ESTIMATION — THEORY, APPLICATION, AND IMPLEMENTATION
Yen-Kuang Chen, Sun‐Yuan Kung, Huifang Sun · 2004
This thesis offers an integrated perspective of the theory, applications, and implementation of true motion estimation. Taking the pictures of 3D real-world scene generates sequences of video images. When an object in the three-dimensional real world moves, there are corresponding changes in the brightness---or luminance intensity---of its two-dimensional image. The physical three-dimensional motion projected onto the twodimensional image space is referred to as "true motion." The ability to track true motion by observing changes in luminance intensity is critical to many video applications. This thesis explores techniques that track such motion and shows how these techniques can be used in many important applications.
