Abstract: This paper addresses
the optical flow analysis and the smoothing effect in Local and Global
Differentiation. There are lots of Local and Global methods and their variants
available. But in this paper, as a prototype of local methods least-square fit
of Lucas and Kanade has been employed, while the Horn
and Schunck approach has been considered as the
representative for a global method. Each of these methods has their advantages
and shortcomings. Which are mentioned in their respective section.
As a consequence, the proposed made from the hybridization algorithm
incorporates the advantages of both field and possess less disadvantages.
Improvement is made in our algorithm using the spatio-temporal
approach and appropriate differentiation approximation
Keywords: Optical flow, combined local global method, Spatio-temporal optical flow.
