This scale-space representation, associated to a simple gradient-based optimization algorithm, naturally sets up a well-defined multi-resolution analysis framework for the optical flow estimation problem, thus avoiding the common drawbacks of standard multi-resolution schemes. Moreover, wavelet properties enable the design of simple yet efficient high-order regularizers or polynomial approximations associated to a low computational complexity. Accuracy of proposed methods is assessed on challenging sequences of turbulent fluids flows. %U http://www.irisa.fr/fluminance/publi/papers/2011_SSVM_derian.pdf %8 June %D 2011
