I'm assuming \Delta g(x,y) is some kind of array or matrix. I need to know how exactly |g1(x,y) - g2(x,y)| is calculated.

Also for equation 2, I'm at lose for how to solve for mx and my.

For equation 3, is \delta ^ 2 some kind of weird symbol for second derivative? \delta is introduced so suddenly I don't really know what to do with it.

A grey scale image is an array of intensity values (encoded in some manner often an integers in the range 0-255) $g(x,y)$ where $x$ and $y$ are the horizontal and vertical pixel indices.

So an image is an array $g(x,y)$ . Here we have a pair of images $g_1(x,y)$ and $g_2(x,y)$ and $\Delta g$ is the absolute value of the difference between the images.

For equations 2 you do not solve for $m_x$ amd $m_y$ you write some code to find the required values.

For $\delta$ you will have to go back to the source and look for its definition, it is some sort of small constant.
