MPI-SINTEL OPTICAL FLOW BENCHMARK : SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL

This Technical Report contains the supplemental material to the main report on the MPI-Sintel optical flow dataset and evaluation [1]. In particular, we provide details of the image and optical flow statistics that are mentioned in the main paper. Additionally we provide details of the initial evaluation of optical flow algorithm performance on the dataset. Additional details and the dataset itself can be found on the MPI-Sintel website:
