Abstract

It is widely accepted that tasks such as quantitative recovery of depth and threedimensional motion require particularly accurate optical velocities computed by robust and reliable algorithms. Future studies should recognize and address this requirement. Although it is acceptable in many cases, the constraint of invariance to motion of the intensity of reflected light does not account for the subtle intensity variations that often must be taken into consideration if optical velocities are to be computed accurately (Verri and Poggio [1]). Therefore, more accurate model of image brightness formation are needed that are computationally feasible.
