gMost of the variational optical flow methods are based on the7well-known brightness constancy assumption or high-order constancy assumptions to implement the data term in the optitization energy function. Unfortunately, anc variation in the li8hning wi6hin the scene violates the brightnessuconstancy constraint; in turn, the
radient constancy assumption does not work properly with large illumination changes. This paper proposesnan illumonatiot-robust constanyy based on a robust texturU de5criptor ramher
