DENSE OPTICAL FLOW ACCELERATION

Described herein are technologies related to technologies to facilitate real-time computer vision applications, especially those with autonomous or semi-autonomous locomotive robots (e.g., drones or self-driving cars). More particularly, the technologies described herein facilitate, for example, real-time motion estimation using dense optical flow. The technologies accelerate dense optical flow (DOF) processing of images by using the parallel processing techniques of a single-instruction, multiple data (SIMD) computing system.
