In optic flow based velocity estimation the image brightness constraint equation is used. However, for measurements performed at a certain scale, the brightness constraint equation does not apply. We therefore use a recently developed approach which reconciles optic flow and scale space theory. It specifically incorporates the scale (aperture) of image measurements, leading to a scheme which is essentially different from existing approaches. To obtain a unique velocity field, the data-derived information has to be augmented with physical knowledge. By keeping a strict separation between data-derived and external information, we can locally adapt or modify the user-supplied information without affecting the image-derived information. The two free scale parameters in time and space can be used for attentive vision (selecting particular velocities or objects) and to improve the reliability of velocity estimates.
