A scale-space aproach to nonlocal optical flow calculations

[EN] This paper presents an interpretation of a classic optical flow method by Nagel and Enkelmann as a tensor-driven anisotropic diffusion approach in digital image analysis. We introduce an improvement into the model formulation, and we establish well-posedness results for the resulting system of parabolic partial differential equations. Our method avoids linearizations in the optical flow constraint, and it can recover displacement fields which are far beyond the typical one-pixel limits that are characteristic for many differential methods for optical flow recovery. A robust numerical scheme is presented in detail. We avoid convergence to irrelevant local minima by embedding our method into a linear scale-space framework and using a focusing strategy from coarse to fine scales. The high accuracy of the proposed method is demonstrated by means of a synthetic and a real-world image sequence.

Desarrollo de un método ensemble para la predicción del viento a escala local usando elementos finitos

[EN]Los autores han desarrollado un modelo de viento de masa consistente especialmente diseñado para su aplicación en la escala local y en zonas de orografía compleja. Se ha dotado a este modelo de carácter predictivo usando como entrada resultados de HARMONIE. El HARMONIE es un modelo meteorológico predictivo de escala regional usado en la AEMET. Por otra parte, en los últimos años los métodos ensemble se han consolidado en la predicción meteorológica a escala regional…

Adaptive Finite Element Method with a local element parametrization nested meses

[EN]This work presents a novel approach to solve a two dimensional problem by using an adaptive finite element approach. The most common strategy to deal with nested adaptivity is to generate a mesh that represents the geometry and the input parameters correctly, and to refine this mesh locally to obtain the most accurate solution. As opposed to this approach, the authors propose a technique using independent meshes : geometry, input data and the unknowns. Each particular mesh is obtained by a local nested refinement of the same coarse mesh at the parametric space…
