Abstract
A framework is presented for segmenting shallow structures from
their background over a sequence of images. Shallowness is first
quantified as affine describability. This is embedded in a tracking
system within which hypothesized model structures undergo a cycle of
prediction and model-matching. Structures emerge either as shallow or
non-shallow based on their affine trackability. This paper rejects
continuity heuristics for purely image motion in favor of temporal
continuity defined as the consistency of generic 3-D models, namely
shallow structures
