In this paper, we propose a method for jointly computing optical flow and segmentating video while accounting for mixed pixels (matting). Our method is based on statistical modeling of an image pair using constraints on appearance and motion. Segments are viewed as overlapping regions with fractional (?) contributions. Bidirectional motion is estimated based on spatial coherence and similarity of segment colors. Our model is extended to video by chaining the pairwise models to produce a joint probability distribution to be maximized. To make the problem more tractable, we factorize the posterior distribution and iteratively minimize its parts. We demonstrate our method on frame interpolation.
