This paper solves the problem in a generic variational Bayesian framework. The method is based on a conditional model linking the image intensity function, the velocity field and the hyper-parameters characterizing the motion model. Inference is performed at three levels by considering maximum a posteriori problem of marginalized probabilities. We assessed the performance of the proposed method on image sequences of fluid flows and of the ``Middlebury'' database. Experiments prove that applying the proposed inference strategy on very simple models yields better results than manually tuning smoothing parameters or discontinuity preserving cost functions of classical state-of-the-art methods.}, identifier = {06069821}, }
