An Optical Flow Model Based on Illumination Radiation Theory

An optical flow model based on illumination radiation theory is presented to detect object motion in a mutative light with a large displacement. First, parameters of general dynamic image model are explained and amended on Clifford algebra. Then, a new optical flow model is proposed which is based on the Clifford algebra and postexperimental data in consideration with the principle of generating movement vision and the illumination radiation theory. Following the above, a total variation algorithm along with the warping for this model is described. Last, experimental results show that the proposed model can achieve an accurate and consistent optical flow fields in different illumination for general purpose with fast motion.
