Motion estimation algorithms play a key role in picture-rate up-conversion. To realise high quality interpolated images, while keeping the processing requirements low, we analyse the following parameters of the motion estimation algorithm: The number of motion estimation iterations per input image pair and the image scanning order of individual iterations. Furthermore, we tackle the issue of th...

On the seventeenth of September 1930, Sergei Eisenstein attended an invitation only meeting with Technicians Branch Academy Motion Picture Arts and Science, held at Cafe de Paris ...

The picture on the cover page shows a representation of ATP-synthase which is an example of a real molecular motor capable of rotary motion.

T motion picture industry has provided a fruitful research domain for scholars in marketing and other disciplines. The industry has high economic importance and is appealing to researchers because it offers both rich data that cover the entire product lifecycle for many new products and because it provides many unsolved “puzzles.” Although the amount of scholarly research in this area is rapidl...

This paper investigates video coding with wavelet transforms applied in the temporal direction of a video sequence. The wavelets are implemented with the lifting scheme in order to permit motion compensation between successive pictures. We generalize the coding scheme and permit motion compensation from any even picture in the GOP by maintaining the invertibility of the inter-frame transform. W...

Full Search FS is regarded as optimal for block matching motion estimation algorithm with high power consumption while fast search such as Three Step Search TSS produces sub optimal motion vectors with a lower power consumption Real time adaptive selection between these two algorithms can provide a good trade o between picture quality and power and reduce the power consumption while main tainin...

This paper presents a frame-level adaptive search range scaling strategy for B pictures coding for H.264/AVC from the hardware-oriented viewpoint. After studying the relationship between search range of P and B picture, a simple search range scaling strategy is proposed at first, which is efficient for normal or low motion video. After that, this strategy is extended to high motion video by usi...

Recent studies have identified neural correlates of language effects on perception in static domains of experience such as colour and objects. The generalization of such effects to dynamic domains like motion events remains elusive. Here, we focus on grammatical differences between languages relevant for the description of motion events and their impact on visual scene perception. Two groups of...

This study introduces a video compression method that uses spatio – temporal lifting based algorithms to compress the video signals. The temporal correlation of consecutive frames causes temporal redundancies which are subject to lifting-like motion predictive compression. Moreover, the spatial correlation between neighbouring pixels of the same frame is subject to intra-frame wavelet compressi...

The structure-from-motion problem has been extensively studied in the eld of computer vision. Yet, the bulk of the existing work assumes that the scene contains only a single moving object. The more realistic case where an unknown number of objects move in the scene has received little attention, especially for its theoretical treatment. In this paper we present a new method for separating and ...
