Performance of optical flow techniques

TLDR
These 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 the authors implemented.
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 a number of 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.

Tracking-Learning-Detection

TL;DR: A novel tracking framework (TLD) that explicitly decomposes the long-term tracking task into tracking, learning, and detection, and develops a novel learning method (P-N learning) which estimates the errors by a pair of “experts”: P-expert estimates missed detections, and N-ex Expert estimates false alarms.

An iterative image registration technique with an application to stereo vision

TL;DR: In this paper, the spatial intensity gradient of the images is used to find a good match using a type of Newton-Raphson iteration, which can be generalized to handle rotation, scaling and shearing.

Determining optical flow

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.

Theory of Edge Detection

TL;DR: The theory of edge detection explains several basic psychophysical findings, and the operation of forming oriented zero-crossing segments from the output of centre-surround ∇2G filters acting on the image forms the basis for a physiological model of simple cells.
