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.
