… presents a novel architecture for simultaneous estimation of highly accurate optical flows and rigid scene transformations for difficult scenarios where the brightness assumption is violated by strong shading changes.

… standard methods for calculating optical flows or poses are based on the expectation that the appearance of features in the scene remain constant between views.

… presented method fuses texture and geometry information by combining image, vertex and normal data to compute an illumination-invariant optical flow.

By using a coarse-to-fine strategy, globally anchored optical flows are learned, reducing the impact of erroneous shading-based pseudo-correspondences.

Based on the learned optical flows, a second architecture is proposed that predicts robust rigid transformations from the warped vertex and normal maps.

… method has been evaluated on a newly created dataset containing both synthetic and real data with strong rotations and shading effects …
