online motion-energy computation

[anwarnunez]

It should be feasible to have a running buffer of image luminance values and compute the motion-energy features using that buffer only.

advantages:
removes memory errors due to loading a large number of images.
allows for some sort of real-time-ish use (except at the edges)

disadvantages:
?

I agree that this is a good idea, have been working on something like this for my own purposes. This seems best accomplished with a wrapper to the main code. This would keep the focus of the code on computing motion energy, not on bookkeeping stuff (what to load, when to load it). Also, if there were such a wrapper function, it could readily be applied to other preprocessing functions (e.g. possibly DNN features, etc)
