Real-Time Motion Segmentation of Sparse Feature Points at Any Speed

Abstract--We present a real-time incremental approach to motion segmentation operating on sparse feature points. In contrast to previous work, the algorithm allows for a variable number of image frames to affect the segmentation process, thus enabling an arbitrary number of objects traveling at different relative speeds to be detected. Feature points are detected and tracked throughout an image sequence, and the features are grouped using a spatially constrained expectation
