I was referring to this mathwork's site...
for finding the speed of objects from a video file I have. But the code didn't say anything about how to find a speed. Also when I run the code I could see no optical flow thing...can anyone help me...I must be doing something wrong. Here is the code (the main code is same as that shown in link, just a little addition of reading video file from the disk):
nFrames=0;
opticFlow = opticalFlowHS;
v = VideoReader('Activity1.avi');
while hasFrame(v) % Process for the first 100 frames.
% Acquire single frame from imaging device.
frameRGB = readFrame(v);
% Compute the optical flow for that particular frame.
flow = estimateFlow(opticFlow,rgb2gray(frameRGB));
imshow(frameRGB)
hold on
drawnow
plot(flow,'DecimationFactor',[5 5],'ScaleFactor',25)
hold off
% Increment frame count
nFrames = nFrames + 1;
end
I tried 'drawnow' command as suggested here Only I could see the video but not the optical flow...
I couldn't attach the .avi file here otherwise I would have.

Ok I could solve the problem... I use
frameWithFlow = getframe(gca);
imshow(frameWithFlow.cdata)
now I am getting the optical flow over each frame.
But still, there is one problem the video gets very slow how can I make it run with normal video speed? (or at least faster than the current one)
