This is an implementation of SPM-BP for Optical Flow estimation that correspondes to our published paper:

Y. Li, D. Min, M. S. Brown, M. N. Do, J. Lu. "SPM-BP: Sped-up PatchMatch Belief Propagation for Continuous MRFs". in ICCV 2015.

Project Website: [Efficient Inference for Continuous MRFs] (https://publish.illinois.edu/visual-modeling-and-analytics/efficient-inference-for-continuous-mrfs/)

• The whole codes are in the code folder. You can use CMake to compile SPM-BP (Tested on 64 bit Ubuntu 14.04 and Windows 7 with Visual Studio 2012).
• For windows user, a compiled execuable with demo usage is provided in Release folder.
• We will be happy if you cite us when using this code!
• If you want to test Stereo Matching using SPM-BP, we can share the execuable upon request.
