The mean field theory for image motion estimation

Abstract
It is shown how the MFT (mean field theory) can be applied to MRF (Markov random field) model-based motion estimation. Specifically, the motion is characterized by a coupled MRF including a displacement field (motion continuity), a line field (motion discontinuity), and a segmentation field (identifying uncovered areas). These fields are estimated by using the MFT. The efficacy of this approach is demonstrated on synthetic and real-world images.
