Abstract

A novel (to the best of our knowledge), fast method to measure in-plane object motion in 1D with sub-pixel accuracy which complements the correlation technique is proposed. The method is verified experimentally using both visible and terahertz images. The absolute sum of grey level accumulated change is used to quantify object motion. The method requires calibration for each target, but only addition and subtraction operations. This results in a decrease of two orders of magnitude in the computation time.
