Performance of optical flow techniques.
International Journal of Computer Vision, 12(1):43-77, 1994
ABSTRACT
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 several regularly cited optical flow techniques, including
instances of differential, matching, energy-based and phase-based methods.
Our comparisons are primarily empirical, and concentrate on the accuracy,
reliability and density of the velocity measurements; they show that
performance can differ significantly among the techniques we implemented.
