Optimization and Tracking of Polygon Vertices for Shape Coding
نویسندگان
چکیده
The efficiency of shape coding is an important problem in low-bitrate object-based video compression. Lossy contour coding methods typically include contour approximation by polygons or splines, spatial and/or temporal prediction of vertices, and entropy coding the of prediction error. In conventional contour coding schemes, however, the coding gain in the interframe mode is typically small. This indicates that the temporal redundancy is not successfully removed. The paper addresses the issue of temporal shape decorrelation by proposing the Kalman filtering-based approach to vertex tracking and prediction. A temporal vertex association procedure is proposed effectively minimizing bit rate in each frame. The prediction error is coded using adaptive arithmetic encoding. Vertex optimization is employed to reduce the shape reconstruction error.

Polygon/spline approximation of arbitrary image region shapes is submitted for tool evaluation. First, polygon approximation is performed. Starting with an initial 4–vertices polygon which represents the farest elongations into different directions, the polygon approximation is iteratively refined taking into account the local requirements until a given tolerance criterion is satisfied everywhe...
متن کاملA Fast Algorithm for Covering Rectangular Orthogonal Polygons with a Minimum Number of r-Stars
Introduction This paper presents an algorithm for covering orthogonal polygons with minimal number of guards. This idea examines the minimum number of guards for orthogonal simple polygons (without holes) for all scenarios and can also find a rectangular area for each guards. We consider the problem of covering orthogonal polygons with a minimum number of r-stars. In each orthogonal polygon P,...
متن کاملDense and Accurate Spatio-Temporal Multi-View Stereovision IMAGINE Research Report 09-43
In this report, we describe a novel method to simultaneously and accurately estimate the 3D shape and 3D motion of a dynamic scene from multiple-viewpoint calibrated videos. We follow a variational approach in the vein of previous work on stereo reconstruction and scene flow estimation. We adopt a representation of a dynamic scene by an animated mesh, i.e. a polygonal mesh with fixed connectivi...
