  • System and method for automatic detection of anomalies in images
    Patent number: 8337405
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for detecting anomalies in images according to various aspects of the present invention operate in conjunction with an optical flow system. The optical flow system may receive image data for a first image and a second image and generate flow vectors corresponding to differences between the first image and the second image. An analyzer may be coupled to the optical flow system and analyze the flow vectors to identify anomalies in the second image.

  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATIC DETECTION OF ANOMALIES IN IMAGES
    Publication number: 20090209833
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for detecting anomalies in images according to various aspects of the present invention operate in conjunction with an optical How system. The optical flow system may receive image data for a first image and a second image and generate How vectors corresponding to differences between the first image and the second image. An analyzer may be coupled to the optical flow system and analyze the flow vectors to identify anomalies in the second image.
