A method and systems of identifying one or more patches in three or more frames in a video are provided. A region in a reference frame of the video may be detected. A set of regions in a prior frame and subsequent frame that are similar to the region in the reference frame may then be identified. Temporal consistency between the region in the reference frame and two or more regions in the set of regions in the prior and subsequent frames may then be calculated. Patches of regions in the first, reference, and third frames may be identified based at least in part on the calculated temporal consistencies, with each patch identifying a region in the reference frame that can be mapped to a similar region in the prior and subsequent frames.
