Optical Flow on Evolving Sphere-Like Surfaces
In this work we consider optical flow on evolving Riemannian 2-manifolds which can be parametrised from the 2-sphere. Our main motivation is to estimate cell motion in time-lapse volumetric microscopy images depicting fluorescently labelled cells of a live zebrafish embryo. We exploit the fact that the recorded cells float on the surface of the embryo and allow for the extraction of an image sequence together with a sphere-like surface. We solve the resulting variational problem by means of a Galerkin method based on vector spherical harmonics and present numerical results computed from the aforementioned microscopy data.

A Numerical Framework for Efficient Motion Estimation on Evolving Sphere-Like Surfaces based on Brightness and Mass Conservation Laws
In this work we consider brightness and mass conservation laws for motion estimation on evolving Riemannian 2-manifolds that allow for a radial parametrisation from the 2-sphere. While conservation of brightness constitu…

We present a geometric framework to model the optical effects of deformations of planar holographic optical elements (HOE) into curved surfaces, such as sphere segments. In particular, we consider deformations which do n…
Decomposition of Optical Flow on the Sphere
We propose a number of variational regularisation methods for the estimation and decomposition of motion fields on the $2$-sphere. While motion estimation is based on the optical flow equation, the presented decompositio…
