Optical Flow Estimation is a computer vision task that involves computing the motion of objects in an image or a video sequence. The goal of optical flow estimation is to determine the movement of pixels or features in the image, which can be used for various applications such as object tracking, motion analysis, and video compression.
Approaches for optical flow estimation include correlation-based, block-matching, feature tracking, energy-based, and more recently gradient-based.

Subsequently, a cross-scale motion structure is presented to estimate and refine intermediate flow maps by the extracted features.
Taylor Videos for Action Recognition
Addressing these challenges, we propose the Taylor video, a new video format that highlights the dominate motions (e. g., a waving hand) in each of its frames named the Taylor frame.
Recurrent Partial Kernel Network for Efficient Optical Flow Estimation
However, this impacts the widespread adoption of optical flow methods and makes it harder to train more general models since the optical flow data is hard to obtain.
Multimodal Action Quality Assessment
To leverage multimodal information for AQA, i. e., RGB, optical flow and audio information, we propose a Progressive Adaptive Multimodal Fusion Network (PAMFN) that separately models modality-specific information and mixed-modality information.

RomniStereo: Recurrent Omnidirectional Stereo Matching
To bridge the gap between OSM and RAFT, we mainly propose an opposite adaptive weighting scheme to seamlessly transform the outputs of spherical sweeping of OSM into the required inputs for the recurrent update, thus creating a recurrent omnidirectional stereo matching (RomniStereo) algorithm.
