Determining optical flow for irregular domains by minimizing quadratic functionals of a certain class

摘要

Snyder (1989) has recently classified all smoothness terms which involve first-order derivatives of the flowfield u(x, t) and of the image grey-value function g(x, t). The physically plausible smoothness terms belonging to this class are known from the work of Horn and Schunck (1981) and Nagel (1987).
