Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for generating motion detection based on optical flow. One of the methods includes obtaining a first image of a scene in an environment taken by an agent at a first time point and a second image of the scene at a second later time point. A point cloud characterizing the scene in the environment is obtained. A predicted optical flow is determined between the first image and the second image. A respective initial flow prediction for the point that represents motion of the point between the two time points is determined. A respective ego motion flow estimate for the point that represents a motion of the point induced by ego motion of the agent is determined. A respective motion prediction that indicates whether the point was static or in motion between the two time points is determined.
