Abstract

Motion vector estimation is an important parameter for video segmentation. Effective video compression can be achieved by choosing a correct approach for the calculation of motion vector. Here in this paper we propose an optical flow motion vector estimation through iterative Lucas-Kanade Pyramidal implementation for both large & small motion In image pyramid representation a group of pixel information is gradually reduced to a value of one pixel information for both current & reference frame. The velocity & displacement at each pixel is obtained by using Lucas-Kanade equations. The original image is recovered by warping reference frame towards current frame using flow vectors i.e. velocity & displacement by using image warping techniques. The process is repeated until convergence. An iterative implementation is shown which successfully computes the optical flow for a number of synthetic image sequences.
