Algorithm Optimization of Motion Tracking Based on Optical Flow

Article Preview

Abstract:

Optical flow is an important kind of video motion tracking algorithm, and Lucas-Kanade (LK) algorithm is an effective differential method in terms of calculating optical flow. The 3D Gaussian smoothing filter is properly introduced in the image preprocessing stage of the LK algorithm, which makes it possible to increase the correlation of the adjacent pixels in the time axis, improve the blur effect of the video image and overcome the 2D Gaussian filters disadvantage that is not suitable for the video image processing. More importantly, the optimized 3D non-Gaussian matching filter is chosen during the 3D derivative calculating, and it is capable of reducing the error rate of the velocity vector calculation and enhancing the calculation accuracy of the optical flow.
