Multiple Video Objects Extraction for MPEG-4 Application
نویسندگان
چکیده
MPEG-4 is an object-oriented video compression standard which allows content-based representation of a video sequence. This requires a decomposition of scenes into semantic video objects (VOs). Many algorithms had been developed to extract VOs with accurate boundaries, however, the issue of multiple objects is less addressed. We proposed to use a simple clustering method based on distance transform to group moving pixels into different VOs. The objects will then be tracked by using Hausdorff distance and their boundaries are refined to form VOs with accurate boundaries. Experimental results show that the algorithm successfully finds and tracks multiple objects in different video sequences.

Accurate video object segmentation through change detection
We propose an algorithm for the accurate extraction of video objects from color sequences. The semantics defining the video objects is motion, and the extraction algorithm is based on change detection. The color difference between frames is modeled so as to separate the contributions caused by sensor noise and illumination variations from those caused by meaningful objects. Sensor noise is elim...
متن کاملSpatio-Temporal Semantic Object Segmentation using Probabilistic Sub-Object Regions
The MPEG-4 standard generated a need for the extraction of Video Object Planes for usage in video retrieval and description. Two later standards MPEG-7 and MPEG-21 further the need for systems requiring minimal user interaction for the accurate extraction of semantic video objects. Many previous approaches have either relied too heavily on user interaction or made compromises in end accuracy to...
متن کاملRetrieval of Video Objects by Compressed Domain Shape Features
In this paper, we propose shape features that are based on MPEG-4 compressed domain shape information. These shape features can be used for efficient retrieval of both MPEG-4 video objects and video object planes. The proposed shape descriptors are invariant of the shape size, translation, and rotation. Because the shape descriptors are computed using the MPEG-4 compressed domain information, e...
متن کاملA Video Transcoding Scheme for E-Learning Multimedia Applications
In this paper, we propose a segmentation based transcoding scheme for adapting MPEG-2 e-learning visual contents to heterogeneous environments. This is achieved by converting MPEG-2 video into MPEG-4 video objects with arbitrary shape and different semantic value in e-learning context. The transcoding scheme is based on a hybrid segmentation method, which employs both compressed and pixel domai...
متن کاملFast and automatic video object segmentation and tracking for content-based applications
The new video-coding standard MPEG-4 enables content-based functionality, as well as high coding efficiency, by taking into account shape information of moving objects. A novel algorithm for segmentation of moving objects in video sequences and extraction of video object planes (VOPs) is proposed in this paper. For the case of multiple video objects in a scene, the extraction of a specific sing...
