VOD14-A Coding Technique for the Contours in Smoothly Perfe.ppt

A Coding Technique for the Contours in Smoothly Perfect Eight-Connectivity Based on Two-Stage Motion Compensation Sung Ho Cho, Rin Chul Kim, Seung Seok Oh, Sang Uk Lee IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON CIRCUITS AND SYSTEMS FOR VIDEO TECHNOLOGY, FEB 1999 INTRODUCTION Object-oriented video coding – 1989 Three parameters of each object : motion, shape and color. A predictive contour coding technique was proposed by C. GU in 1995 Exploit the temporal correlation INTRODUCTION Proposed technique Based on Gu’s technique Contour simplification (smooth) Contour extraction 8-connected chain coding Two-stage motion compensation CONTOUR SIMPLIFICATION Morphological filter CONTOUR SIMPLIFICATION Majority filter (C. Gu 1995) B: an area surrounds point x. (L1, …, Lk) : k different labels in B. Ni : the number of pixels having Li is Ni. P(x) : the original label in point x. CONTOUR SIMPLIFICATION Majority filter (cont.) Choose the dominant label around the point CONTOUR SIMPLIFICATION Two ways to show contours Pixel domain Useless for one pixel-wide region Half-pixel domain CONTOUR SIMPLIFICATION 8-connected chain coding TWO-STAGE MOTION COMPENSATION Gu’s technique Large overhead Proposed technique Global motion compensation Local motion compensation TWO-STAGE MOTION COMPENSATION Global motion compensation Search the global motion vector (GMV). (the motion vector for the object) Global motion compensation (GMC). Extract the contours from the GMC image and current frame, respectively. Compare both contours and divide the current contour into the GMC and global motion failure (GMF) segments. TWO-STAGE MOTION COMPENSATION Local motion compensation (for GMF) Search local motion vector (LMV) form a search area. (find the contour points locally coincident with the contour points belonging to the GMF segment) Divide GMF segment into LMC and LMF segment. GMC and LMC segments are reconstructed by GMV and LMV, respectively. LMF segments use chain coding. TWO-STAGE MOTION COMPENSATION TWO-STAGE
