This paper proposes a parallel algorithm based upon dynamic programming, for velocity field estimation. It has O(N) complexity, N being the number of element involved in the process. This low complexity is very interesting for many real time applications (autonomous robot navigation, trajectory matching etc.). The algorithm has been implemented on the CM-5, therefore functional specifications of our parallel dynamic programming circuit have been validated.
