Segmentation of Rigid Motion from Non-rigid 2D Trajectories

Abstract. In this paper we evaluate an automatic segmentation algorithm able to identify the set of rigidly moving points within a deformable object given the 2D measurements acquired by a perspective camera. The method is based on a RANSAC algorithm with guided sampling and an estimation of the fundamental matrices from pairwise frames in the sequence. Once the segmentation of rigid and non-rigid points is available, the set of rigid points could be used to estimate the internal camera calibration parameters, the overall rigid motion and the non-rigid 3D structure.
