Detailed Description

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 [238] [239] [240] and [241] similar to the pyramidal iterative Lucas-Kanade method as proposed by [36]. More details and experiments can be found in the following thesis [242]. The implementation is derived from optflow::calcOpticalFlowPyrLK().

The sparse-to-dense interpolation scheme allows for fast computation of dense optical flow using RLOF (see [103]). For this scheme the following steps are applied:

motion vector seeded at a regular sampled grid are computed. The sparsity of this grid can be configured with setGridStep
(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.
Vector field interpolation is applied to the motion vector set to obtain a dense vector field.

For the RLOF configuration see optflow::RLOFOpticalFlowParameter for further details. Parameters have been described in [238] [239] [240] and [241].

Note: If the grid size is set to (1,1) and the forward backward threshold <= 0 than pixelwise dense optical flow field is computed by RLOF without using interpolation.; Note that in output, if no correspondences are found between I0 and I1, the flow is set to 0.

pure virtual

Python:
	cv.optflow.DenseRLOFOpticalFlow.getEPICK(		) ->	retval

Threshold 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.
