Detailed Description

efficient fixed-point optical-flow calculation

Compute the optical flow of several points using the pyramidal Lucas-Kanade algorithm by Yves Bouguet The initial fixed-point implementation is done by G. de Croon and is adapted by Freek van Tienen for the implementation in Paparazzi. Pyramids implementation and related development done by Hrvoje Brezak.

Parameters
[in]*new_imgThe newest grayscale image (TODO: fix YUV422 support)
[in]*old_imgThe old grayscale image (TODO: fix YUV422 support)
[in]*pointsPoints to start tracking from
[in,out]points_cntThe amount of points and it returns the amount of points tracked
[in]half_window_sizeHalf the window size (in both x and y direction) to search inside
[in]subpixel_factorThe subpixel factor which calculations should be based on
[in]max_iterationsMaximum amount of iterations to find the new point
[in]step_thresholdThe threshold of additional subpixel flow at which the iterations should stop
[in]max_pointsThe maximum amount of points to track, we skip x points and then take a point.
[in]pyramid_levelLevel of pyramid used in computation (0 == no pyramids used)
[in]keep_bad_pointsDo not filter out bad points. The error field will be set accordingly.
Returns
The vectors from the original *points in subpixels

Pyramidal implementation of Lucas-Kanade feature tracker.

Uses input images to build pyramid of padded images.

For every pyramid level:

For all points:

  • (1) determine the subpixel neighborhood in the old image
  • (2) get the x- and y- gradients
  • (3) determine the 'G'-matrix [sum(Axx) sum(Axy); sum(Axy) sum(Ayy)], where sum is over the window
  • (4) iterate over taking steps in the image to minimize the error:
    • [a] get the subpixel neighborhood in the new image
    • [b] determine the image difference between the two neighborhoods
    • [c] calculate the 'b'-vector
    • [d] calculate the additional flow step and possibly terminate the iteration
  • (5) use calculated flow as initial flow estimation for next level of pyramid
