In this paper we present a novel approach for detection of independently moving foreground objects in non-planar scenes captured by a moving camera. We avoid the traditional assumptions that the stationary background of the scene is planar, or that it can be approximated by dominant single or multiple planes, or that the camera used to capture the video is orthographic. Instead we utilize a multiframe monocular epipolar constraint of camera motion derived for monocular moving cameras defined by an evolving epipolar plane between the moving camera center and 3D scene points. This constraint is parameterized as a polynomial function of time, and unlike repeated computations of inter-frame fundamental matrix, requires the estimation of fewer unknowns, and provides a more consistent separation between moving and static objects for different levels of noise. This constraint allows us to segment out moving objects in a general 3D scene where other approaches fail because their initial assumptions do not hold, and provides a natural way of fusing temporal information across multiple frames. We use a combination of optical flow and particle advection to capture all motion in the video across a number of frames, in the form of particle trajectories. We then apply the derived multi-frame epipolar constraint to these trajectories to determine which trajectories violate it, thus segmenting out the independently moving objects. We show superior results on a number of moving camera sequences observing non-planar scenes, where other methods fail.
