Voice is a critical tool for communication, and diagnosing voice disorders poses significant challenges, particularly when using high-speed video (HSV) endoscopy. The primary difficulty with HSV lies in the need for clinical experts to manually analyze and interpret large volumes of HSV frames. To address these challenges, kymography has been introduced as an effective clinical decision-support tool.

Laryngeal high-speed video endoscopy is performed to examine the cycles of vocal fold vibrations in detail and to diagnose voice abnormalities. One of the recent image processing techniques for visualizing vocal fold vibration is optical flow-based playbacks, which include optical flow kymograms (OFKG) for local dynamics, optical flow glottovibrogram (OFGVG) and glottal optical flow waveforms (GOFW) for global dynamics. In recent times, various optical flow computing algorithms have been developed.
