Title
Line Search Multilevel Optimization as Computational Methods for Dense Optical Flow
Abstract
We evaluate the performance of different optimization techniques developed in the context of optical flow computation with different variational models. In particular, based on truncated Newton (TN) methods that have been an effective approach for large-scale unconstrained optimization, we develop the use of efficient multilevel schemes for computing the optical flow. More precisely, we compare the performance of a standard unidirectional multilevel algorithm—called multiresolution optimization (MR/Opt)—with that of a bidirectional multilevel algorithm—called full multigrid optimization (FMG/Opt). The FMG/Opt algorithm treats the coarse grid correction as an optimization search direction and eventually scales it using a line search. Experimental results on three image sequences using four models of optical flow with different computational efforts show that the FMG/Opt algorithm outperforms both the TN and MR/Opt algorithms in terms of the computational work and the quality of the optical flow estimation.
