We present a common variational framework for dense depth recovery and dense three-dimensional motion field estimation from multiple video sequences, which is robust to camera spectral sensitivity differences and illumination changes. For this purpose, we first show that both problems reduce to a generic image matching problem after backprojecting the input images onto suitable surfaces. We then solve this matching problem in the case of statistical similarity criteria that can handle frequently occurring non-affine image intensities dependencies. Our method leads to an efficient and elegant implementation based on fast recursive filters. We obtain good results on real images.
