Dynamics Enhanced Multi-camera Motion Segmentation from Unsynchronized Videos

This paper considers the multi-camera motion segmentation problem using unsynchronized videos: given two video clips containing several moving objects, captured by unregistered, unsynchronized cameras with different viewpoints, our goal is to assign features to moving objects in the scene. This problem challenges existing methods, due to the lack of registration information and correspondences across cameras. To solve it, we propose a method that combines shape and dynamical information and does not require spatiotemporal registration or shared features. As shown in the paper, this combination results in improved performance even in the single camera case, and allows for solving the multi-camera segmentation problem with a computational cost similar to that of existing single-view techniques.
