Gst-nvofvisual#
The Gst-nvofvisual plugin is useful for visualizing motion vector data. The plugin solves the optical flow problem by computing the magnitude and direction of optical flow from a two-channel array of flow vectors. It then visualizes the angle (direction) of flow by hue and the distance (magnitude) of flow by value of Hue Saturation Value (HSV) color representation. The strength of HSV is always set to a maximum of 255 for optimal visibility.
Inputs and Outputs#
