This package is a simple Python wrapper to the open-source Optical Flow estimator developed by C. Liu during his Ph.D. The code was originally conceived to operate over Matlab. This is a Python/Bob port. If you use this code, the author asks you to cite his thesis:
@phdthesis{Liu_PHD_2009,
title = {{Beyond Pixels: Exploring New Representations and Applications for Motion Analysis}},
author = {Liu, Ce},
institution = {{Massachusetts Institute of Technology}},
year = {2009},
type = {{Ph.D. Thesis}},
}
If you decide to use this port on your publication, we kindly ask you to cite Bob as well, as the base software framework, on which this port has been developed:
