Method Description:
We propose to look at large-displacement optical
flow from a discrete point of view. Consequently,
we formulate optical flow estimation as a
discrete inference problem in a conditional
random field, followed by sub-pixel refinement.
Naive discretization of the 2D flow space,
however, is intractable due to the resulting size
of the label set. This method employs three
different strategies, each able to reduce
computation and memory demands by several orders
of magnitude. Their combination allows us to
estimate large-displacement optical flow both
accurately and efficiently and demonstrates the
potential of discrete optimization for optical
flow.

Detailed Results

This page provides detailed results for the method(s) selected. For the first 20 test images, the percentage of erroneous pixels is depicted in the table. We use the error metric described in Object Scene Flow for Autonomous Vehicles (CVPR 2015), which considers a pixel to be correctly estimated if the disparity or flow end-point error is <3px or <5% (for scene flow this criterion needs to be fulfilled for both disparity maps and the flow map). Underneath, the left input image, the estimated results and the error maps are shown (for disp_0/disp_1/flow/scene_flow, respectively). The error map uses the log-color scale described in Object Scene Flow for Autonomous Vehicles (CVPR 2015), depicting correct estimates (<3px or <5% error) in blue and wrong estimates in red color tones. Dark regions in the error images denote the occluded pixels which fall outside the image boundaries. The false color maps of the results are scaled to the largest ground truth disparity values / flow magnitudes.
