Erm, nah, I'm not yet looking at more than 2 frames. What I mean by 
a vector field is simply a bitmap that has a 2D vector at each 
point rather than a scalar. So motion between two frames can be 
expressed as a vector field where each vector holds the 
displacement of the pixel at that point between the two frames.

The cumulative thing is there because each time a point is displaced 
while trying to distort frame 1 so that it will fit frame 2, this 
displacement is 'added' to the current motion vector field, and the 
final MVF for each blurring level is taken as a starting point for 
the next level. So in the end all the displacements are factored in 
and we have a correct map (well that's the idea. I hope it'll work 
better than the previous 100 brilliant ideas :-)).

Ofcourse, I'll post as soon as I have something.
