Dear Peter,
I forgot to ask another important question - if y is from top to bottom and we preserve the image coordinate system, how do we define the positive vertical velocity? in the image coordinate system, positive displacement is also when the row number increases, i.e. from top to bottom. But for all practical reasons when I think about positive velocity I imagine something moving upward in the image, i.e. negative in the image coordinate system.
So, shell we choose:
a) 0,0 top left corner and u left->right, v top-> bottom (self-consistent and maybe confusing)
b) 0,0 top left corner, u left-> right, but v bottom->up (not self-consistent v is not parallel to y, but maybe less confusing?)
c) 0,0 bottom left corner u left->right, v bottom->up (self consistent, physically valid, right-hand rule, not image based)
What do you think?
