A Region Based Descriptor for Spatial Distribution of Motion Activity for Compressed Video
نویسندگان
چکیده
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") of “motion active” regions over the entire video shot. We carry out another thresholding process on the histogram to get our descriptor, which is a histogram normalized with respect to the average size of the blobs, and thus normalized with respect to frame size. We get similar precision-recall performance to the spatial activity descriptor in the current MPEG-7 experimental model. We are also able to successfully capture the effects of camera motion as well as the effects of non-camera motion in distinct uncorrelated parts of our descriptor. Since the feature extraction is in the compressed domain and simple, it is extremely fast. We find that our descriptor enables fast and accurate indexing of video.

A Motion Activity Descriptor and Its Extraction in Compressed Domain
A novel motion activity descriptor and its extraction from a compressed MPEG (MPEG-1/2) video stream are presented. The descriptor consists of two parts, a temporal descriptor and a spatial descriptor. To get the temporal descriptor, the “motion intensity” is first computed based on P frame macroblock information. Then the motion intensity histogram is generated for a given video unit as the te...
متن کاملVideo Subject Inpainting: A Posture-Based Method
Despite recent advances in video inpainting techniques, reconstructing large missing regions of a moving subject while its scale changes remains an elusive goal. In this paper, we have introduced a scale-change invariant method for large missing regions to tackle this problem. Using this framework, first the moving foreground is separated from the background and its scale is equalized. Then, a ...
متن کاملCompressed Domain Scene Change Detection Based on Transform Units Distribution in High Efficiency Video Coding Standard
Scene change detection plays an important role in a number of video applications, including video indexing, searching, browsing, semantic features extraction, and, in general, pre-processing and post-processing operations. Several scene change detection methods have been proposed in different coding standards. Most of them use fixed thresholds for the similarity metrics to determine if there wa...
متن کاملA Novel Approach to Video Indexing and Retrieval Using Motion Activity
Motion activity description plays an important role on video retrieval, which quantitatively provides the intensive degree of scene motion from the point of human perception. An approach based on local activity histogram (LAH) is proposed to describe motion activity. Firstly, the motion vector field is abstracted from video. Then, the motion vector field is transformed to the intensity tag imag...
متن کاملA neural network approach to key frame extraction
We present a neural network based approach to key frame extraction in the compressed domain. The proposed method is an amalgamation of both the MPEG-7 descriptors namely motion intensity descriptor and spatial activity descriptor. Shot boundary detection and block motion estimation techniques are employed prior to the extraction of the descriptors. The motion intensity (“pace of action”) is obt...
