Motion Estimation and Compensation for Foveated Video
نویسندگان
چکیده
Utilizing the nonuniform resolution property of the human visual system, foveated video can provide high visual quality relative to non-foveated video by allocating more bits to the central foveation area. In this paper, we present a motion estimation and compensation algorithm for foveated video and measure the performance using a new measure of visual delity termed foveal mean absolute distortion. The computation redundancy reduction is achieved by subsampling searching area dependent on the local bandwidth in the sense of Nyquist sampling criterion. In addition, we reduce motion compensated errors by increasing temporal correlation when single or multiple foveation points are added or subtracted.

Motion Estimation and Compensation of H.263 Video via Foveation
The human visual system (HVS) samples the external world non-uniformly. Utilizing this property in video compression, more bits can be allocated around the point of xation, i.e. the foveation point, to produce low bit rate foveated video. For the same bit rate, foveated video will have higher subjective quality compared to unfoveated video for a single observer. Utilizing the foveation property...

This paper explores the problem of communicating high-quality, foveated video streams in real time. Foveated video exploits the nonuniform resolution of the human visual system by preferentially allocating bits according to proximity to assumed visual xation points, thus delivering perceptually high quality at greatly reduced bandwidths. Foveated video streams possess speci c data density prope...

Motion estimation and compensation is an essential part of existing video coding systems. The mesh-based motion estimation (MME) produces smoother motion field, better subjective quality (free from blocking artifacts), and higher peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) in many cases, especially at low bitrate video communications, compared to the conventional block matching algorithm (BMA). Howev...

Eli Peli, MEMBER SPIE The Schepens Eye Research Institute 20 Staniford Street Boston, Massachusetts 02114-2500 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Foveated imaging systems applicable in various single-user displays mimic the visual system’s image structure, where resolution decreases gradually away from the fovea. The main benefit is the low average image resolution while maintaining h...
