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...
In this paper we present a new descriptor for spatial distribution of motion activity in video sequences. We construct a histogram of areas of distinct regions (or "blobs&quo...
In distributed video coding (DVC), the video statistics are exploited, partially or totally at the decoder. A particular case of DVC, WynerZiv video coding deals with lossy source...
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...
