Sumario:The standard Brightness Constancy Equat ion states spatiotemporal shift invariance of the input data along a local velocity of optical flow. In its turn, the shift invariance leads to a periodic function of a rea l argument. This allows application of a known test for periodicity to computation of optical flow at random locations. The approach is valid also for higher dimensions: for example, it applie s to a sequence of 3D tomography images. The proposed method has a reasonably high accuracy for continuous flow and is noise tolerant. Special attention is paid to weak signal input. It is shown that a drastic reduction in the signal strength worsens the a ccuracy of estimates insignificantly . For a possible application to tomography, this would lead to an unprecedented diminution of harmful radiation exposure.
