Region-based representation of video sequences with uniform background motion for a content-based image coding
Résumé
Content-based image coders become the center of attention now for the currently emerging standard MPEG-4. A method based on the spatio-temporal segmentation for motion image coding is developed in this paper. The method is designed for the sequences characterized by homogeneous global motion (camera motion) and the presence of semantic objects having proper motions. The property of the method is the fitness of the moving border to spatial contours of regions which allows for a high quality of predicted images without any error encoding.
