  1. Optical Flow walk through Aidean Sharghi Spring 14

  2. Optical Flow • The objective in this assignment is to setup and use Optical Flow • This implementation is fast and so you will see it can be used for real-time purposes • Required steps to setup and run are provided in this presentation

  3. Contents • OpenCV installation process • Setting Environment Variables • How to run Optical Flow

  4. OpenCV • OpenCV stands for Open-source Computer Vision • It is a library of useful functions used in Computer Vision • To run Optical Flow: • Install OpenCV 2.2 if you have VS 2010 installed on your machine • Install OpenCV 2.4 if you have VS 2012

  5. Install OpenCV2.2 for VS 2010 • Download OpenCV2.2 from http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencvlibrary/files/opencv-win/2.2/ • Extract the files in C:\OpenCV2.2 • Set Environment Variables. • If variable ‘path’ exists, just add the C:\OpenCV2.2\bin\ to the end of its value • If ‘path’ does not exist, just add a new variable and name it ‘path’ and set its value to what mentioned above

  6. Install OpenCV2.4 for VS 2012 • Download OpenCV2.4 from http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencvlibrary/files/opencv-win/2.4.4/OpenCV-2.4.4.exe • Extract the files in C:\opencv • Set Environment Variables. • Add the new variable ‘path’ and set its value to “C:\opencv\build\(your VS build x86/x64)\vc11\bin\ “ • E.g. if you have VS x64 version installed on your machine, the value will be: C:\opencv\build\x64\vc11\bin

  7. Set the Environment Variable in Windows 7/8/8.1

  8. Building the Project • Just download and build the project using your VS • Open a command prompt and change its directory to your project’s debug folder • Give the input

  9. Command Prompt • Open Command Prompt • To do so, you can hold Ctrl key and press R. Run window will show up. Then write cmd in the box and press enter. • Change Directory to the Debug Folder • cd is the command you need to use. • For example if you enter: • cd C:\Users\’your username’\Desktop This will take you to your desktop

  10. Two ways to use • When you are in the Debug folder, then you have two options • Compute Optical Flow • frames imageFile1 imageFile2 change directory to the debug folder then enter these: > OpticalFlow.exe frames image0.jpg image1.jpg • Find the Optical Flow by webcam • camera or NULL > OpticalFlow.exe camera

  11. Four keys to control • w : increment (by 10) number of corners to track (max = 400) • s : decrement (by 10) number of corners to track (min=10) • d : double pyramid window size (max=64) • a : half pyramid window size (min=2)

  12. Code Analysis Load Image 1 Interest Points KLT Tracker using 2 images

  13. Harris Corner Detector • Compute horizontal and vertical derivatives of image • Compute the matrix • Convolve the matrix with a larger Gaussian window. • Compute the Eigen vector of M • Find local maxima above threshold as interest points

  14. KLT Tracker • Detect Harris corners in the first frame • Build the Optical Flow Pyramid • For each Harris corner compute motion between consecutive frames • Link motion vectors in successive frames to get a track for each Harris point • Introduce new Harris points by applying Harris detector at every m frames

  15. Two useful functions • void cvCalcOpticalFlowPyrLK(constCvArr* prev, constCvArr* curr, CvArr* prevPyr, CvArr* currPyr, const CvPoint2D32f* prevFeatures, CvPoint2D32f* currFeatures, int count, CvSizewinSize, int level, char* status, float* track_error, CvTermCriteria criteria, int flags)

  16. Two useful functions • intbuildOpticalFlowPyramid(InputArrayimg, OutputArrayOfArrayspyramid, Size winSize, intmaxLevel, boolwithDerivatives=true, intpyrBorder=BORDER_REFLECT_101, intderivBorder=BORDER_CONSTANT, booltryReuseInputImage=true)
