MOTION FROM COLOR

The use of color images for motion estimation is investigated in this work, Beyond the straightforward approach of using the color component s as separate images of the same scene, a new method, based on exploit ing color invariance under motion, is discussed, Two different sets of color-related, locally computable motion ''invariants'' are analyzed and tested in this paper, and the results of motion estimation based o n them are compared to the direct use of the RGB brightness functions.
