ImageDisplacements

ImageDisplacements[{image1,image2,,imagen}]

gives estimated horizontal and vertical displacements between consecutive images.

ImageDisplacements[{image1,image2,,imagen},flow]

uses flow as an initial estimate for displacement between image1 and image2.

Details and Options

  • ImageDisplacements, also known as dense optical flow, compares consecutive images imagei and imagei+1 and returns a matrix of displacements {δx,δy} for every pixel of imagei.
  • ImageDisplacements works with an AnimatedImage or a sequence of images of the same dimensions.
  • The following options are supported:
  • MaxIterations10number of iterations to run
    MethodAutomaticthe method to use
    PerformanceGoal$PerformanceGoalaspects of performance to try to optimize
  • By default, the more suitable method is used. Possible method settings are "Farneback" and "DenseInverseSearch".
