Error Analysis for Lucas-Kanade Based Schemes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Optical flow is a valuable tool for motion analysis in medical imaging sequences. A reliable application requires determining the accuracy of the computed optical flow. This is a main challenge given the absence of ground truth in medical sequences. This paper presents an error analysis of Lucas-Kanade schemes in terms of intrinsic design errors and numerical stability of the algorithm. Our analysis provides a confidence measure that is naturally correlated to the accuracy of the flow field. Our experiments show the higher predictive value of our confidence measure compared to existing measures.

Based on the analysis of the shortcomings of the current KLT (Kanade-Lucas-Tomasi) algorithm, a new, self-adaptive tracking algorithm is devised. Through introducing a kind of filtering mechanism, interference from surrounding noise and light on the tracked target is reduced. In order to reduce the error in tracking, a method based on forwardbackward error approximation is utilized. Since such ...
