A fast algorithm for computing optic flow and its implementation on a Transputer array

to compute the optic flow along intensity change curves. The flow is computed locally at corners, determined as edge points of high curvature, by cross correlation over time. The (full) flow is then computed along edge contours by means of a combined wave/diffusion process. MCMAP has been implemented on a Transputer array using a mixed paradigm of a pipeline and a processor farm. A fast algorithm for computing optic flow and its implementation on a Transputer array
