GENERATION OF OPTICAL FLOW MAPS BASED ON FOREGROUND AND BACKGROUND IMAGE SEGMENTATION

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture (e.g., physical storage media) to generate optical flow maps based on foreground and background image segmentation are disclosed. Example apparatus disclosed herein are to generate a reference optical flow map based on a stereo pair of background images corresponding to a first camera field-of-view and a second camera field-of-view, and generate a first optical flow map based on a stereo pair of input images corresponding to the first camera field-of-view and the second camera field-of-view. Disclosed example apparatus are also to combine the reference optical flow map and the first optical flow map based on an alpha matte to generate a second optical flow map associated with the stereo pair of input images, the alpha matte representative of segmentation of at least one of the stereo pair of input images into foreground and background regions.
