A dense flow-based framework for real-time object registration under compound motion

作者:

Highlights:

• A moving object often has elastic and deformable surfaces (e.g., a human head).

• Measuring surface deformation while the object itself is also moving is challenging.

• We present a generic video alignment framework to characterize surface deformations.

• The proposed algorithm is suitable for spontaneous expressions recognition.

• It also improves the performance of face image super-resolution.
