ABSTRACT:
In a method for computer-supported motion estimation for picture elements of chronologically successive images of a video sequence, a motion estimation is implemented with using a known dynamic programming (DP) method. A further dimension is added to the optimization space of the DP algorithm. As a result, the motion of objects is recognized in all directions and an incorrect classification of picture elements as an occlusion, which could not be prevented in known methods, is thus avoided.
