Treffer: Accurate Realtime Motion Estimation Using Optical Flow on an Embedded System.

Motion estimation has become one of the most important techniques used in realtime computer vision application. There are several algorithms to estimate object motions. One of the most widespread techniques consists of calculating the apparent velocity field observed between two successive images of the same scene, known as the optical flow. However, the high accuracy of dense optical flow estimation is costly in run time. In this context, we designed an accurate motion estimation system based on the calculation of the optical flow of a moving object using the Lucas–Kanade algorithm. Our approach was applied on a local treatment region implemented into Raspberry Pi 4, with several improvements. The efficiency of our accurate realtime implementation was demonstrated by the experimental results, showing better performance than with the conventional calculation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
