Flowty

WARNING

Currently Flowty is built atop of OpenCV 4 which has a serious performance regression in (at least) TVL1 optical flow which makes it inpractical to use. I suggest using my other optical flow tool furnari-flow until this has been resolved. I have a benchmark repository demoing this issue and have filed a bug report. Until that is resolved I suggest you try out multiple tools and pick which ever you find most performant.

Flowty is the swiss army knife of computing optical flow. Flowty is...

• Performant—leveraging CUDA accelerated optical flow implementations.
• Easy to use—packaged in docker so you don't have to compile OpenCV and Flowty yourself.
