Estimation of motion boundary location and optical flow using dynamic programming

We present a new method for the estimation of optical flow which uses a dynamic programming based algorithm to simultaneously detect the presence of motion boundaries and to estimate optical flow. This allows for a more accurate estimation of the motion field near discontinuities. The results compare favorably with those produced by other methods.
