Abstract
Both the tangential and normal components of the flow can be computed reliably where the image Hessian is well-conditioned. A fast algorithm to propagate flow along contours from such locations is proposed. Experimental results for an intrinsically parallel algorithm for computing the flow along zero-crossing contours are presented.
