US Patent Issued to Intel on Aug. 19 for "Multi-level optical flow estimation framework for stereo pairs of images based on spatial partitioning" (California Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Aug. 20 -- United States Patent no. 12,394,070, issued on Aug. 19, was assigned to Intel Corp. (Santa Clara, Calif.).

"Multi-level optical flow estimation framework for stereo pairs of images based on spatial partitioning" was invented by Niloufar Pourian (Los Gatos, Calif.) and Oscar Nestares (San Jose, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Techniques related to multi-level optical flow estimation are discussed. Such techniques include partitioning each pair of input images into one or more partitions, separately performing optical flow estimation on the partitions, and merging the separately generated optical flow results into a final optical flow map for the pair of input ...
