MotionVectorEstimator

This repo contains python app to calculate Motion Vector, and to compare methods to achieve that

Running

To test a program use 2 black and white frames. by default program searches for 1.jpg and 2.jpg (offset [-3, 2] between first and second example picture)

Picture Reading

list [[0,0,0,0],[0,1,0,0],[0,3,0,0],[0,0,0,0]] represent picture

 y ^
   | 0,0,0,0
   | 0,1,0,0
   | 0,3,0,0
   | 0,0,0,0
   -----------> x

first list(of y) is reversed to start from the bottom. Pictures are parsed to monochromatic
