Face Tracking in the Compressed Domain

Video Abstraction in H.264/AVC Compressed Domain

Video abstraction allows searching, browsing and evaluating videos only by accessing the useful contents. Most of the studies are using pixel domain, which requires the decoding process and needs more time and process consuming than compressed domain video abstraction. In this paper, we present a new video abstraction method in H.264/AVC compressed domain, AVAIF. The method is based on the norm...

Semantic-Based Image Retrial in the VQ Compressed Domain using Image Annotation Statistical Models

Compressed Domain Scene Change Detection Based on Transform Units Distribution in High Efficiency Video Coding Standard

Scene change detection plays an important role in a number of video applications, including video indexing, searching, browsing, semantic features extraction, and, in general, pre-processing and post-processing operations. Several scene change detection methods have been proposed in different coding standards. Most of them use fixed thresholds for the similarity metrics to determine if there wa...

A hierarchical framework for face tracking using state vector fusion for compressed video

Faces usually are the most interesting objects in certain categories of video like home videos and news clips. In this paper a novel sensor fusion based face tracking system is presented that tracks faces in compressed video, and aids automatic video indexing. Tracking is done by fusing the measurements from three independent sensors – motion and colour based trackers (derived from [2]) and a f...

Human Face Recognition in wavelet compressed domain using Canonical Correlation Analysis

This paper explores the possibility of implementing face recognition systems directly into wavelet based compressed domain. This is accomplished by stopping the decompression process after entropy decoding and providing the entropy points to face recognition systems as input. A novel approach for efficient face recognition in compressed domain has been implemented using 2-dimensional Canonical ...
