The Intrinsic Structure of Optic Flow Incorporating Measurement Duality

摘要

The purpose of this article is to define optic flow for scalar and density images without using a priori knowledge other than its defining conservation principle, and to incorporate measurement duality, notably the scale-space paradigm. It is argued that the design of optic flow based applications may benefit from a manifest separation between factual image structure on the one hand, and goal-specific details and hypotheses about image flow formation on the other.
