Range Flow Estimation based on Photonic Mixing Device Data

: We present techniques for computing 3D velocity fields from range data acquired with cameras working on the principles of modulation based Time-Of-Flight measurement. We derive a new variant of the range flow constraint equation that directly incorporates the transformation from sensor to world coordinate system. The presented techniques are applied to a number of range sequences with ground truth and the acquired motion estimation results are discussed.
