Degeneracies, Dependencies and their Implications in Multi-body and Multi-Sequence Factorizations

The body of work on multi-body factorization separates between objects whose motions are independent. In this work we show that in many cases objects moving with different 3D motions will be captured as a single object using these approaches. We analyze what causes these degeneracies between objects and suggest an approach for overcoming some of them. We further show that in the case of multiple sequences linear dependencies can supply information for temporal synchronization of sequences and for spatial matching of points across sequences.
