Patch-based detection of dynamic objects in CrowdCam images

A scene can be divided into two parts: static and dynamic. The parts of the scene which do not admit any motion are static regions, while moving objects correspond to dynamic regions. In this work, we tackle the challenging task of identifying dynamic objects present in the CrowdCam images. Our approach exploits the coherency present in the natural images and utilizes the epipolar geometry present between a pair of images to achieve this objective. It does not require a dynamic object to be present in all the given images. We show that the proposed approach obtains state-of-the-art accuracy on standard datasets.
