Abstract

Early cognitive vision can be related to the segment of perceptual vision that takes care of reducing the uncertainty on visual measures through a visual context analysis, by capturing regularities over large, overlapping retinal locations, a step that precedes the true understanding of the scene. In this perspective, we defined a general framework to specify context sensitive motion filters based on elementary descriptive components of optic flow fields. The resulting regularized patch-based motion estimation obtained in real-world sequences validated the approach.
