Performance of optical flow techniques

by J. L. Barron, D. J. Fleet, S. S. Beauchemin - INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF COMPUTER VISION , 1994
"... While different optical flow techniques continue to appear, there has been a lack of quantitative evaluation of existing methods. For a common set of real and synthetic image sequences, we report the results of a number of regularly cited optical flow techniques, including instances of differential, ..."

Determining Optical Flow

by Berthold K. P. Horn, Brian G. Schunck - ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE , 1981
"... Optical flow cannot be computed locally, since only one independent measurement is available from the image sequence at a point, while the flow velocity has two components. A second constraint is needed. A method for finding the optical flow pattern is presented which assumes that the apparent veloc ..."

High Accuracy Optical Flow Estimation Based on a Theory for Warping

The Computation of Optical Flow

by S.S. Beauchemin, J.L. Barron , 1995
"... Two-dimensional image motion is the projection of the three-dimensional motion of objects, relative to a visual sensor, onto its image plane. Sequences of time-ordered images allow the estimation of projected two-dimensional image motion as either instantaneous image velocities or discrete image dis ..."

displacements. These are usually called the optical flow field or the image velocity field. Provided that optical flow is a reliable approximation to two-dimensional image motion, it may then be used to recover the three-dimensional motion of the visual sensor (to within a scale factor) and the three

A database and evaluation methodology for optical flow

by Simon Baker, Daniel Scharstein, J. P. Lewis, Stefan Roth, Michael J. Black, Richard Szeliski - In Proceedings of the IEEE International Conference on Computer Vision , 2007
"... The quantitative evaluation of optical flow algorithms by Barron et al. (1994) led to significant advances in performance. The challenges for optical flow algorithms today go beyond the datasets and evaluation methods proposed in that paper. Instead, they center on problems associated with complex n ..."

Probability Distributions of Optical Flow

by Eero P. Simoncelli, Edward H. Adelson, David J. Heeger - PROC. CONF. COMP. VISION AND PATT. RECOGNITION , 1991
"... Gradient methods are widely used in the computation of optical flow. We discuss extensions of these methods which compute probability distributions of optical flow. The use of distributions allows representation of the uncertainties inherent in the optical flow computation, facilitating the combinat ..."

Optic flow

by Henning Zimmer, Andrés Bruhn, Joachim Weickert, Levi Valgaerts, Agustín Salgado, Bodo Rosenhahn, Hans-peter Seidel - in harmony. IJCV 93 , 2011
"... Abstract. We introduce the concept of complementarity between data and smoothness term in modern variational optic flow methods. First we design a sophisticated data term that incorporates HSV colour representation with higher order constancy assumptions, completely separate robust penalisation, and ..."

Training flow fields are constructed using range images of natural scenes and 3D camera motions recovered from handheld and car-mounted video sequences. A detailed analysis of optical flow ..."
