A new frequency-domain approach to represent motions is proposed. The new scheme is based on a band-pass filtering with a set of logGabor spatio-temporal filters. It is well known that one of the main problems of these approaches is that a filter response varies with the spatial orientation of the underlying signal. To solve this spatial dependency, the proposed model allows to recombine information of motions that has been separated in several filter responses due to its spatial structure. For this purpose, motion patterns are detected as invariance in statistical structure across a range of spatio-temporal frequency bands. This technique is illustrated on real and simulated data sets, including sequences with occlusion and transparencies.
