基于光流计算方法统一框架理论，研究了一种利用高斯多维滤波器的渐进性和时空性提高光流估计性能的有效方法。在保持现有光流计算方法的前提下，通过调节时间维和空间维的方差参数，改变时空预滤波和光滑效果，突出时间混叠和光流主信息，从而提高重构视频序列的信噪比。试验中以标准的Flower Garden和Football序列的前50帧作为参考图像序列，以LK算法为参考光流算法。结果显示，滤波窗口为5×5时的最佳时间方差参数为0.4，最佳空间方差参数为［1.6，2.0］；加入高斯多维预滤波前后利用光流场重构图像的平均峰值信噪比PSNR提高2.572dB，提高幅度为13.6%。

Based on the unified estimation-theoretic framework, an effective method of using the gradual Gaussian multidimensional pre-filter to improve the optical flow estimation is presented. The pre-filtering and smoothing effect, which attenuate the temporal aliasing and the interesting signal structure of the optical flow field, are altered with adjusting the spatiotemporal standard deviation parameters. The first 50 frames of the standard Flower Garden and Football video sequence are tested as the reference image sequences, and the LK algorithm as the reference optical flow computing method. Experimental results in objective evaluation show that the optimum temporal standard deviation parameter is 0.4, the optimum spatial standard deviation parameter is in a range of 1.6～2.0 under the condition that the pre-filtering window size is 5 × 5 pixels. After pre-filtering the image sequence by the Gaussian multidimensional filter, the average PSNR of the reconstructed frames enhance 2.572 dB, higher than that using the standard optical flow computing method by nearly 13.6 % .
