BA method, simple synthetic images

For simple synthetic images:

    0.0500         0         0
    0.0500    0.1000         0

I1 =

    0.5000         0         0

         0    0.0500    0.1000

Running code by D.Sun. Disabled texture decomposition, disabled multiscale processing.

uv = estimate_flow_interface(I0, I1, 'classic-c-brightness', [], {'display', 1, 'pyramid_levels', 1, 'gnc_pyramid_levels', 1});

I think, it is right answer.

Visually the same:

HS method. Simple image

BA - is not the simpliest method. I found there is implmentation of Horn-Schunk.

I found that the results are really poor, when my “image elements” ar just on the border. So I extended image by zeros.

I use the following command:

uv = estimate_flow_interface(I0, I1, ...
    'hs-brightness', [], ...
    {'display', 1, 'pyramid_levels', 1, 'gnc_pyramid_levels', 1, ...
     'pyramid_spacing', sqrt(2)});

I also use slightly modified code. I disabled automatic pyramid height calculation, so I set it manually. Input

    I0 =
    
             0    0.5000         0
             0    1.0000         0
             0    0.5000         0
        1.0000         0         0
        0.5000         0         0
        0.5000    1.0000         0
    
    I1 =
        0.5000         0         0
        1.0000         0         0
        0.5000         0         0
             0    1.0000         0
             0    0.5000         0
             0    0.5000    1.0000

Here the shift between frames is much larger than a pixel and the size of objects. So OF fail without resolution scaling.
