Optical Flow in MATLAB for computer vision

Description

In this Online Courses, you will learn how to implement optical flow in MATLAB. 

Optical Flow MATLAB computer vision

In recent years, the optical flow has found many applications in machine vision.
In general, obvious motion changes in the brightness of an image are said to be due to the movement of targets. However, changes in the intensity of motion are similar to changes in ambient light or shadow but do not include optical flow.

The shorter the time between taking two consecutive images, the more similar the images are to each other, in which case the changes can be displayed in vector format proportional to the speed of the image coordinate device. In this case, the movement of the camera between the images is equal to the speed and the changes in the image mapping the speed of the environment. This small motion in the image is called optical flow.

Optical flow is usually considered in two ways, in the dense state, where the flow vector is calculated for each pixel, and in the feature-based state, which is calculated for the specific purposes for which it is intended.
If we want to calculate optical flow in a spherical model, we must either the first sample the environment as spherical space and then calculate optical flow (which is difficult and requires a lot of calculations), or optical flow is calculated in ordinary space and the result is through The Jacobin matrix is transferred to the spherical space.
