Enhanced Frame-Based Video Coding to Support Content-Based Functionalities

Abstract-- This paper presents the enhanced frame-based video coding scheme. The input source video to the enhanced frame-based video encoder consists of a rectangular-size video and shapes of arbitrarily-shaped objects on video frames. The rectangular frame texture is encoded by the conventional frame-based coding technique and the video object's shape is encoded using the contour-based vertex coding. It is possible to achieve several useful content-based functionalities by utilizing the shape information in the bitstream at the cost of a very small overhead to the bitrate. Keywords-- Video coding, content-based, hypervideo, interactivity, shape coding, polygon.
