Abstract
A novel approach for the computation of optical flow based on an L (1) type minimization is presented. It is shown that the approach has inherent advantages since it does not smooth the flow-velocity across the edges and hence preserves edge information. A numerical approach based on computation of evolving curves is proposed for computing the optical flow field. Computations are carried out on a number of real image sequences in order to illustrate the theory as well as the numerical approach.
