Abstract

Laryngeal high-speed video endoscopy is performed to examine the cycles of vocal fold vibrations in detail and to diagnose voice abnormalities. One of the recent image processing techniques for visualizing vocal fold vibration is optical flow-based playbacks, which include optical flow kymograms (OFKG) for local dynamics, optical flow glottovibrogram (OFGVG) and glottal optical flow waveforms (GOFW) for global dynamics. In recent times, various optical flow computing algorithms have been developed. In this paper, we used four well-known optical flow algorithms Horn Schunk, Lucas Kanade, Gunnar Farneback, and TVL1 to construct the optical flow playbacks. The proposed playback reliability is examined by comparing them to traditional representations such as Phonovibrogram (PVG). Since PVG and OFGVG are interconnected, a comparison study was carried out to better comprehend their interaction.Clinical Relevance- Both OFGVG and PVG add to the precision of interpreting pathological conditions by offering complementary information to the conventional spatiotemporal representations.
