TL;DR: In this paper, a method for finding the optical flow pattern is presented which assumes that the apparent velocity of the brightness pattern varies smoothly almost everywhere in the image, and an iterative implementation is shown which successfully computes the Optical Flow for a number of synthetic image sequences.

TL;DR: In this article, a second-order extension of the Lagrangean method is proposed to integrate the equations of ideal compressible flow, which is based on the integral conservation laws and is dissipative, so that it can be used across shocks.
