We propose a regularization scheme to compute dense full flow fields from the sparse TLS solutions. The performance of the algorithm is analyzed quantitatively for both synthetic and real data.

This is done in a differential framework for which we derive a new constraint equation that can be evaluated directly on the sensor data grid. It is shown how 3D structure and intensity information can be used together in the estimation process. We then introduce a method to compute surface expansion rates from the now available velocity field. The accuracy of the proposed scheme is assessed on a synthetic data set.

We demonstrate how this algorithm can be used to detect motion discontinuities. This can can be used to segment the data into independently moving regions. The different types of aperture problem encountered are discussed. Our regularisation scheme then takes the various types of flow vectors and combines them into a smooth flow field within the previously segmented regions. A quantitative performance analysis is presented on both synthetic and real data. The proposed algorithm is also applied to range data from castor oil plants obtained with the Biris laser range sensor to study the 3-D motion of plant leaves.}, doi = {10.1007/3-540-45053-X_50}, author = {Hagen Spies and Bernd J{\"a}hne and John L.
