In this paper we propose an algorithm to partition MPEG-4 video objects into temporal segments with uniform activity levels. These segments can be used for efficient summarization...
Video segmentation is among the most important challenges of video processing and compression (MPEG-4 and MPEG-7). A drawback of classical methods is the computational cost due to...
An enhanced, off-line, segment-based rate control approach is proposed for controlling the distortion variation across successive segments of a video sequence when encoding with s...
Reliable segmentation and motion tracking algorithms are required to achieve gesture detection and tracking for human-machine interaction. In this paper we present an efficient me...
A method for video indexing and filtering based on motion activity characteristics in hierarchical levels is proposed. To extract motion activity information, an MPEG (MPEG-1/2) v...
