A method to interpret 3D motion using neural networks
Akira Miyauchi, Akira Watanabe, M. Miyauchi · 2002
This study proposes a 3D motion interpretation method which uses a neural network system consisting of three kinds of neural networks. This system estimates the solutions of 3D motion of an object by interpreting three optical flow (OF - motion vector field calculated from images) patterns of the same object obtained from three different view points. Though the interpretation system is trained using only basic 3D motions consisting of a single motion component, the system can interpret unknown multiple 3D motions consisting of several motion components. The generalization capacity of the proposed system is confirmed using diverse test patterns. Also the robustness of the system to noise is proved experimentally. The experimental results show that this method has suitable features for applying to real images.>
