Dealing with multiple moving objects

Abstract

In the previous chapter we have seen how one can exploit motion blur, an artifact of the relative motion between the scene and the camera during the shutter interval, to recover the 3-D structure of the scene along with its motion and the (motion-deblurred) radiance. There we have assumed that there is only one object moving. Either the scene is static and the camera is moving relative to it, or the camera is still and the scene is moving as a single rigid object. In fact, we have further imposed the restriction that motion is just fronto-parallel; that is, the direction of translation is parallel to the image plane.
