: This paper presents a motion segmentation method useful for representing efficiently a video shot as a static mosaic of the background plus sequences of the objects moving in the...
Bit-depth reduction in digital displays results in false contours in the image. Moreover some of video enhancement processing in the digital TV display, such as histogram equaliza...
Most codecs such as MPEG-1,2 are based on processing pixels in predetermined tiles of square blocks. The processing of each block is independent of the object-based contents that m...
This paper introduces algorithms for determining the "relevance" of each frame (and objects within the frame) to the scenes present in a given video sequence. Specifical...
This paper presents a novel object-based video coding framework for videos obtained from a static camera. As opposed to most existing methods, the proposed method does not require...
