This paper presents an intelligent video surveillance system. The system is composed of one or more nodes flexibly according to the application scenarios such as private properties, banks and museums. Each node is an autonomous vision-based device capable to perform intelligent tasks. It is able to digitize and compress the acquired analog video signals in MPEG-4 standard and then transmit the compressed...
The relevance of the spatial domain is mainly eliminated by intra-prediction encoding. First, the traditional intra-prediction algorithms are introduced. And then, according to the correlation between the most likely mode and the best mode, a mode matrix is arrived at, the use of this mode matrix for early termination. The experimental results show that when we use this matrix in the proposed algorithm,...
Scalable Video Coding (SVC) technique, a new research area in the image and video processing, was intensively researched in recent years. This paper mainly introduced the relevant concepts, and then proposed an efficient frame rate control (temporal scalability) method on the basis of these concepts. Experimental result showed hierarchical Motion Compensation Temporal Filter (MCTF) structure can provide...
This paper uses the open source computer vision library (OpenCV for short) as basic library and calls library functions to achieve real-time video capture and output. We narrate the process of making the matrix interpretable as an image through analyzing the data structure of IplImage and meaning of its member variable. The library functions to read video take the video frame for unit and the storage...
This paper presents a method to estimate alpha mattes for video sequences of the same foreground scene from wide-baseline views given sparse key-frame trimaps in a single view. A statistical inference framework is introduced for spatio-temporal propagation of high-confidence trimap labels between video sequences without a requirement for correspondence or camera calibration and motion estimation....
Recently, Distributed Video Coding (DVC) has been actively studied as a solution to the growing demands on light video encoder. However, DVC shifts the complexity from the encoder to the decoder side, and in some applications it needs unacceptably long decoding time and/or big computing power. In this paper, we propose a Wyner-Ziv (WZ) video coding which extracts fast moving regions called Region-Of-Interest...
In this paper, a blind video watermarking algorithm based on 3D wavelet transform and Human Visual System (HVS) model is proposed. The proposed method is based on extracting temporal characteristics of video signal and using it to adjust spatial features of each frame. These frames are designed based on HVS model embed the message. Then the message will be extracted from video watermarked through...
Distributed video coding (DVC) is an interesting research topic for emerging application scenarios requiring low complexity video encoding. The central Slepian-Wolf (SW) coding, in a DVC system, exploits the cross correlation between the side information and the original frame. But, it does not exploit the source entropy of the input symbols, which is exploited by entropy coding in conventional video...
Transcoding is commonly used in media servers to adapt video bitstreams to capabilities and specifications of the receiving playback devices or the transmission network channel in between. Primary adjustments are done on the video format, the resolution and the bitrate. In this paper we propose utilizing transcoding as a means of converting a regular standard video bitstream to a standard video bitstream...
The block motion estimation technique is adopted by various video coding standards to reduce the temporal redundancy in video sequences. Video frames are often dropped during compression at very low bit rates. At the decoder, a missing frame interpolation method synthesizes the missed frames. We proposed two step motion estimation methods for interpolation, a framework for detecting and utilizing...
A video coding methods using max-plus algebra based three dimensional wavelet transforms (3DMP-Wavelets) is proposed. By max-plus algebra we understand an algebraic structure on the set of integers, having maximum, minimum and standard addition as operations. The proposed 3DMP wavelet decomposition schemes are novel classes of morphological wavelets which, in contrast to the existing approaches, envolve...
Distributed video coding is a new paradigm for video compression based on the Slepian-Wolf and Wyner-Ziv theorems. Wyner-Ziv video coding, a lossy compression with receiver side information, enables low-complexity video encoding at the expense of a complex decoder. Most of the existing distributed video coding techniques require a feedback channel to determine the number of parity bits for decoding...
Transmission of compressed video over error prone channels may result in packet losses or errors, which can significantly degrade the image quality. Such degradation even becomes worse in 1Seg video broadcasting, which is widely used in Japan and Brazil for mobile phone TV service recently, where errors are drastically increased and lost areas are contiguous. Therefore the errors in earlier concealed...
Real time video streaming suffers from lost, delayed, and corrupted frames due to the transmission over error prone channels. As an effect of that, the user may notice a frozen picture in their screen. In this work, we propose a technique to eliminate the frozen video and provide a satisfactory quality to the mobile viewer by splitting the video frames into sub-frames. The multiple descriptions coding...
Transmission of compressed video over unreliable networks is vulnerable to errors and error propagation. Multi-hypothesis motion compensated prediction (MHMCP) which was originally developed to improve compression efficiency has been shown to have a good error resilience property. In this paper we improve the overall performance of MHMCP in packet loss scenarios by performing optimal mode switching...
H.264 adopts variable length coding and interprediction techniques, so compressed image is very sensitive to channel error. Meanwhile errors will influence subsequent frames, easily leading to the distortion of rebuilding images. To enhance the quality of reconstructed images, this text proposes a weighted outer boundary matching algorithms based on multiple reference frames, which exploits the characteristic...
In order to transmit live video or video streaming at low bit-rates, the encoder usually needs to reduce the frame rate to cope with the available bandwidth. In this paper, a new dynamic frame-skipping scheme for live video encoding based on motion detection in the adaptive length sliding window is proposed. The length of a sliding window can be adjusted according to bandwidth variation in order to...
Packet losses or errors of high compressed video stream during transmission over error-prone channel may cause serious decline in video quality. Error concealment (EC) at decoder side is an effective technology to reduce this video degradation. This paper proposes a Dynamic Temporal Error Concealment (DTEC) algorithm for H.264, which chooses different error concealment approach according to the variance...
For image and video compression standards, one image is divided into a serial of non-overlapped blocks. Detecting edge existence and analyzing the edge direction in a block level is useful in the applications, such as perceptually improved coding, MB encoding mode decision, blocking artifacts reduction, content-based retrieval, senses changing detection, etc. This paper proposes a novel Fast Block...
In this paper, a video watermarking scheme is proposed to make the watermarked video sequence robust against collusion attacks. Now the temporal correlation between adjacent video frames poses a severe challenges for video watermarking applications,. If the same or redundant watermarking is used for embedding in every frame of video, the watermarking can be estimated and then removed by watermark...
