Abstract
A method and apparatus for producing optical flow obtains a first image of a first spectral region of a field of view, obtains a second image of a second spectral region of the field of view, and processes the images to obtain the optical flow of the field of view. The first and second spectral regions are non-identical, as, for example, the visible and infrared bandwidths.
