An image processing system, and a method of operation thereof, includes: an edge motion generation unit for detecting edges in a first image frame and a second image frame stored by a storage device or a memory and for generating edge motion vectors between the first image frame and the second image frame based on the edges; a motion vector list generation unit for extracting dominant motion vectors from a group of the edge motion vectors and for generating a motion vector list based on the dominant motion vectors; an image segmentation unit for generating a segmentation of the first image frame; an initial motion generation unit for generating initial motion vectors based on the segmentation and the motion vector list; and a smooth motion generation unit for generating smooth motion vectors based on the initial motion vectors and for generating a dense optical flow field by combining the smooth motion vectors.
