The problem to determine the optical flow is addressed for many decades because of its central relevance. This paper gives a short resume about classical methods. Afterwards advanced Markov random fields are developed. The challenge and beauty of this approach consists of the large spectrum of mathematical and physical disciplines which work together.enMarkov random fields and the optical flowText/Conference Paper1617-5468
