Multiple motions from instantaneous frequency

The measurement of multiple velocities using phase-based methods is discussed. In particular, phase gradients (instantaneous frequency) from different bandpass channels (quadrature filter outputs) are used to estimate multiple image velocities in a single neighborhood. The approach is similar to that of M. Shizawa and K. Mase (1990) in which nth-order differential operators are required to compute n simultaneous velocity estimates. However, to use instantaneous frequency, the output of each channel must be differentiated only once.<<ETX>>
