◆ calcGlobalOrientation()

double cv::motempl::calcGlobalOrientation ( InputArray  orientation,
InputArray  mask,
InputArray  mhi,
double  timestamp,
double  duration 
)
Python:
cv.motempl.calcGlobalOrientation(orientation, mask, mhi, timestamp, duration) -> retval

#include <opencv2/optflow/motempl.hpp>

Calculates a global motion orientation in a selected region.

Parameters
orientationMotion gradient orientation image calculated by the function calcMotionGradient
maskMask image. It may be a conjunction of a valid gradient mask, also calculated by calcMotionGradient , and the mask of a region whose direction needs to be calculated.
mhiMotion history image calculated by updateMotionHistory .
timestampTimestamp passed to updateMotionHistory .
durationMaximum duration of a motion track in milliseconds, passed to updateMotionHistory

The function calculates an average motion direction in the selected region and returns the angle between 0 degrees and 360 degrees. The average direction is computed from the weighted orientation histogram, where a recent motion has a larger weight and the motion occurred in the past has a smaller weight, as recorded in mhi .

◆ calcMotionGradient()

void cv::motempl::calcMotionGradient ( InputArray  mhi,
OutputArray  mask,
OutputArray  orientation,
double  delta1,
double  delta2,
int  apertureSize = 3 
)
Python:
cv.motempl.calcMotionGradient(mhi, delta1, delta2[, mask[, orientation[, apertureSize]]]) -> mask, orientation

#include <opencv2/optflow/motempl.hpp>

Calculates a gradient orientation of a motion history image.

Parameters
mhiMotion history single-channel floating-point image.
maskOutput mask image that has the type CV_8UC1 and the same size as mhi . Its non-zero elements mark pixels where the motion gradient data is correct.
orientationOutput motion gradient orientation image that has the same type and the same size as mhi . Each pixel of the image is a motion orientation, from 0 to 360 degrees.
delta1Minimal (or maximal) allowed difference between mhi values within a pixel neighborhood.
delta2Maximal (or minimal) allowed difference between mhi values within a pixel neighborhood. That is, the function finds the minimum ( \(m(x,y)\) ) and maximum ( \(M(x,y)\) ) mhi values over \(3 \times 3\) neighborhood of each pixel and marks the motion orientation at \((x, y)\) as valid only if

\[\min ( \texttt{delta1} , \texttt{delta2} ) \le M(x,y)-m(x,y) \le \max ( \texttt{delta1} , \texttt{delta2} ).\]

apertureSizeAperture size of the Sobel operator.

The function calculates a gradient orientation at each pixel \((x, y)\) as:

\[\texttt{orientation} (x,y)= \arctan{\frac{d\texttt{mhi}/dy}{d\texttt{mhi}/dx}}\]

In fact, fastAtan2 and phase are used so that the computed angle is measured in degrees and covers the full range 0..360. Also, the mask is filled to indicate pixels where the computed angle is valid.

#include <opencv2/optflow/rlofflow.hpp>

Fast dense optical flow computation based on robust local optical flow (RLOF) algorithms and sparse-to-dense interpolation scheme.

The RLOF is a fast local optical flow approach described in [215] [216] [217] and [218] similar to the pyramidal iterative Lucas-Kanade method as proposed by [30]. More details and experiments can be found in the following thesis [219]. The implementation is derived from optflow::calcOpticalFlowPyrLK().

The sparse-to-dense interpolation scheme allows for fast computation of dense optical flow using RLOF (see [89]). For this scheme the following steps are applied:

  1. motion vector seeded at a regular sampled grid are computed. The sparsity of this grid can be configured with setGridStep
  2. (optinally) errornous motion vectors are filter based on the forward backward confidence. The threshold can be configured with setForwardBackward. The filter is only applied if the threshold >0 but than the runtime is doubled due to the estimation of the backward flow.
  3. Vector field interpolation is applied to the motion vector set to obtain a dense vector field.
Parameters
I0first 8-bit input image. If The cross-based RLOF is used (by selecting optflow::RLOFOpticalFlowParameter::supportRegionType = SupportRegionType::SR_CROSS) image has to be a 8-bit 3 channel image.
I1second 8-bit input image. If The cross-based RLOF is used (by selecting optflow::RLOFOpticalFlowParameter::supportRegionType = SupportRegionType::SR_CROSS) image has to be a 8-bit 3 channel image.
flowcomputed flow image that has the same size as I0 and type CV_32FC2.
rlofParamsee optflow::RLOFOpticalFlowParameter
forwardBackwardThresholdThreshold for the forward backward confidence check. For each grid point \( \mathbf{x} \) a motion vector \( d_{I0,I1}(\mathbf{x}) \) is computed. If the forward backward error

\[ EP_{FB} = || d_{I0,I1} + d_{I1,I0} || \]

is larger than threshold given by this function then the motion vector will not be used by the following vector field interpolation. \( d_{I1,I0} \) denotes the backward flow. Note, the forward backward test will only be applied if the threshold > 0. This may results into a doubled runtime for the motion estimation.
gridStepSize of the grid to spawn the motion vectors. For each grid point a motion vector is computed. Some motion vectors will be removed due to the forwatd backward threshold (if set >0). The rest will be the base of the vector field interpolation.
interp_typeinterpolation method used to compute the dense optical flow. Two interpolation algorithms are supported:
  • INTERP_GEO applies the fast geodesic interpolation, see [89].
  • INTERP_EPIC_RESIDUAL applies the edge-preserving interpolation, see [202],Geistert2016.
epicKsee ximgproc::EdgeAwareInterpolator sets the respective parameter.
epicSigmasee ximgproc::EdgeAwareInterpolator sets the respective parameter.
epicLambdasee ximgproc::EdgeAwareInterpolator sets the respective parameter.
ricSPSizesee ximgproc::RICInterpolator sets the respective parameter.
ricSLICTypesee ximgproc::RICInterpolator sets the respective parameter.
use_post_procenables ximgproc::fastGlobalSmootherFilter() parameter.
fgsLambdasets the respective ximgproc::fastGlobalSmootherFilter() parameter.
fgsSigmasets the respective ximgproc::fastGlobalSmootherFilter() parameter.
use_variational_refinementenables VariationalRefinement

Parameters have been described in [215], [216], [217], [218]. For the RLOF configuration see optflow::RLOFOpticalFlowParameter for further details.

Note
If the grid size is set to (1,1) and the forward backward threshold <= 0 that the dense optical flow field is purely computed with the RLOF.
SIMD parallelization is only available when compiling with SSE4.1.
Note that in output, if no correspondences are found between I0 and I1, the flow is set to 0.

Parameters
silhouetteSilhouette mask that has non-zero pixels where the motion occurs.
mhiMotion history image that is updated by the function (single-channel, 32-bit floating-point).
timestampCurrent time in milliseconds or other units.
durationMaximal duration of the motion track in the same units as timestamp .

The function updates the motion history image as follows:

\[\texttt{mhi} (x,y)= \forkthree{\texttt{timestamp}}{if \(\texttt{silhouette}(x,y) \ne 0\)}{0}{if \(\texttt{silhouette}(x,y) = 0\) and \(\texttt{mhi} < (\texttt{timestamp} - \texttt{duration})\)}{\texttt{mhi}(x,y)}{otherwise}\]

That is, MHI pixels where the motion occurs are set to the current timestamp , while the pixels where the motion happened last time a long time ago are cleared.

The function, together with calcMotionGradient and calcGlobalOrientation , implements a motion templates technique described in [53] and [32] .
