Compressed domain object tracking for automatic indexing of objects in MPEG home video
نویسندگان
چکیده
Object tracking is of utmost importance for automatic indexing of video content. This work presents an object tracker that operates directly on MPEG compressed data. Motion vectors and Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) coefficients directly available from the compressed video stream are exploited for the purpose of tracking. Tracking proceeds in two steps: motion vector based tracking in P and B frames within the Groups of Pictures (GOP’s), and object identification in I frames. Colour, which is one of the strongest cues for tracking is used for the identification step. Such a system offers speed, simplicity and robustness against occlusion and camera motion, with good intra-shot tracking for shots in excess of 500 frames, as shown in the experimental results.

A Sensor Fusion Based Object Tracker for Compressed Video
Object tracking is very important for automatic indexing of video content. This work shows tracking of objects directly using compressed MPEG video data. Two sensors, one using motion vectors and the other using DCT coefficients obtained from compressed video stream, provide measurements for the location of the object being tracked. The optimal estimate from the two measurements is found using ...
متن کاملAutomatic Key Video Object Plane Selection Using the Shape Information in the MPEG-4 Compressed Domain
Object-based video representation, such as the one suggested by the MPEG-4 standard, offers a framework that is better suited for object-based video indexing and retrieval. In such a framework, the concept of a “key frame” is replaced by that of a “key video object plane.” In this paper, we propose a method for key video object plane selection using the shape information in the MPEG-4 compresse...
متن کاملRobust moving object segmentation on H.264/AVC compressed video using the block-based MRF model
Moving object segmentation in compressed domain plays an important role in many real-time applications, e.g. video indexing, video transcoding, video surveillance, etc. Because H.264/AVC is the up-to-date video-coding standard, few literatures have been reported in the area of video analysis on H.264/AVC compressed video. Compared with the former MPEG standard, H.264/AVC employs several new cod...
متن کاملObject - Based Indexing of MPEG - 4 Compressed Video
The MPEG-4 object-based coding standard, designed as a common platform for all multimedia applications , is inherently well-suited for video indexing applications. To fully exploit the advantages ooered by MPEG-4, however, a reconsideration of existing indexing strategies is required. This paper proposes a new object-based framework for video indexing and retrieval that treats as the basic inde...
متن کاملTools for Compressed-Domain Video Indexing and Editing
Indexing and editing digital video directly in the compressed domain offer many advantages in terms of storage efficiency and processing speed. We have designed automatic tools in the compressed domain for extracting key visual features such as scene cut, dissolve, camera operations (zoom, pan), and moving object detection and tracking. In addition, we have developed algorithms to solve the dec...
