Develops a framework to evaluate errors in local gradient based
techniques. Analyze the sources of errors to see which can be
addressed. Errors include highly textured regions, non locally
constant image flows, and poor variation in the brightness gradient.
There is a good summary of optical flow techniques in the paper.
