The Right Spin: Learning Object Motion from Rotation-Compensated Flow Fields

Understand

Both a good understanding of geometrical concepts and a broad familiarity with objects lead to our excellent perception of moving objects.

• The human ability to detect and segment moving objects works in the presence of multiple objects, complex background geometry, motion of the observer and even camouflage.
• How humans perceive moving objects so reliably is a longstanding research question in computer vision and borrows findings from related areas such as psychology, cognitive science and physics.
• One approach to the problem is to teach a deep network to model all of these effects.
