Summary: 
In order to reduce the convergence time in an iterative procedure, some gradient based preliminary processes are employed to eliminate outliers. The adaptive variable block size is also introduced to balance the accuracy and computational complexity. Moreover, the use of Canberra distance instead of Euclidean distance illustrates higher performance in measuring motion similarity.
