Abstract

In the present paper, we present a Fourier-based method for global apparent motion estimation. We apply this method for the estimation of the 2D affine transform linking two planar and closed curves. The originality of the method relies on the estimation of the parameters not in the original space but in the transformed space: Fourier space. This technique does not require explicit point to point correspondences; in fact such point correspondences are a by-product of the proposed algorithm. Experimental results and applications validate the use of our technique.
