Claim One:
1. A method for occlusion region detection, comprising: receiving, by a processing device, a first image and a second image; estimating, by the processing device, a field of motion vectors between the first image and the second image; motion compensating, by the processing device, the first image toward the second image to obtain a motion-compensated image; comparing, by the processing device, a plurality of pixel values of the motion-compensated image to a plurality of pixels of the first image to estimate an error field; inputting, by the processing device, the error field to a weighted error cost function to obtain an initial occlusion map; and regularizing, by the processing device, the initial occlusion map to obtain a regularized occlusion map, wherein regularizing comprises applying a multi-sigma filter to the initial occlusion map.
