//! Event-based optical flow estimation.
//!
//! Provides three algorithms for estimating dense optical flow from DVS events:
//!
//! - **Local plane fitting** (Benosman et al., 2014): fits a spatio-temporal
//!   plane to events in a local neighborhood.
//! - **Time-surface matching**: Lucas-Kanade-style gradient estimation on
//!   time-surface images.
//! - **Contrast maximization** (Gallego et al., 2018): finds the flow that
//!   maximizes the contrast of the motion-compensated event image.
