Abstract

Herein is described a method of estimating dominant motion between a current frame n and another frame m of an image sequence having a plurality of frames, the method comprising generating integral projections of the images and using gradients of those projections and using differences between the projections. The input may be any sequence of image frames from an image source, such as a video camera, an IR or X-ray imagery, radar, or from a storage medium such as computer disk memory, video tape or a computer graphics generator.
