1.Optical Flow Empirical behaviour along the image sequence Average Flow Vector Coverage: 4.5% Average Expansion Vector Coverage: 3.4% No calculation possible Average FOE Error: 13.6% tau_l = N_min = 7 samp = 4 st = 3
1.Optical Flow N_min = 7 samp = 4 st = 3 31 Samples With tau_l > 0.1 the Error does not change much
1.Optical Flow tau_l = 0.1 samp = 4 nof = 3 31 Samples A low number of component velocities gives the smallest error
1.Optical Flow tau_l = 0.1 N_min = 2 nof = 3 21 Samples
1.Optical Flow Open questions: Where lies a pure noise? Is a lens distortion visible?
