Optical Flow

Optical flow calculations on OpenSuse 15.2

Resources

Install

To test python examples from the git repo directory learnopencv/Optical-Flow-in-OpenCV in a conda environment is easy

git clone https://github.com/spmallick/learnopencv.git
cd learnopencv/Optical-Flow-in-OpenCV/
conda create -n optical-flow python=3.8
conda activate optical-flow
pip install -r reqirements.txt

To run the c++ examples is a bit more involved. The Opensuse packages of opencv do not include all prerequisites and you get an error:

fatal error: opencv2/optflow.hpp: No such file or directory

To get rid of this, use a self compiled version of opencv with contrib part

wget -O opencv.zip https://github.com/opencv/opencv/archive/master.zip
wget -O opencv_contrib.zip https://github.com/opencv/opencv_contrib/archive/master.zip
unzip opencv.zip
unzip opencv_contrib.zip
mkdir -p build && cd build
cmake -DPYTHON3_EXECUTABLE=/home/joachim/miniconda3/envs/Optical-Flow-in-OpenCV/bin/python -DOPENCV_EXTRA_MODULES_PATH=../opencv_contrib-master/modules ../opencv-master
cmake --build . --parallel

Execute Examples

Just paste the example commands from the git repo readme, e.g.:

python3 demo.py --algorithm lucaskanade --video_path videos/car.mp4

This will show 2 windows, one with an example video and one with the flow information

For the c++ installation, this would be the equivalent command:

./OpticalFlow ../videos/car.mp4 lucaskanade
