Spatiotemporal spectral coding of stereo image sequences
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a new compression scheme for interlaced stereoscopic sequences which differentiates between a region of fixation and a peripheral area, and thereby compacts the stereoscopic information into the spectral space of a monocular video channel. Spectral compression is achieved by avoiding transmitting high-frequency information over the entire images, but only within and around the region where the observer acuity is the highest. The proposed approach consists of decomposing the left and right fields of the stereoscopic pairs into low-pass and high-pass components. High-frequency components are then limited to a fixation region, thus allowing a reduction of their spectral extent. A composite video signal is then formed by positioning the different components into the available spectral space through filtering and modulation. The approach is compatible with the NTSC standard in the sense that the same color subcarrier and the same spectral region are used for the chrominance components. Strategies are proposed for the estimation of the fixation region, based upon a psychophysical study on visual strategies during depth discrimination tasks.

Adaptive Spectral Separation Two Layer Coding with Error Concealment for Cell Loss Resilience
This paper addresses the issue of cell loss and its consequent effect on video quality in a packet video system, and examines possible compensative measures. In the system's enconder, adaptive spectral separation is used to develop a two-layer coding scheme comprising a high priority layer to carry essential video data and a low priority layer with data to enhance the video image. A two-step er...
متن کاملStereoscopic Tracking of Bodies in Motion
The algorithm assumes that object motion is restricted to a horizontal plane ( for example motion of cars on roads or humans walking). Dense stereo image sequences and the Visualised Locus method [1] [2] (in which each image sequence is first sampled to produce a 2D spatiotemporal cross-section image) are used to ensure temporal correspondence without search. Edge segments in the left and right...
متن کاملStereo Image Coding
This paper discusses a method for stereo image coding. We assume stereo images that try to imitate the human visual system, i.e. the two camera planes must be coplanar. First we apply an intensity based stereo algorithm using cooperative bidirectional matching with a hierarchical multilevel structure that returns depth eld and occlusion information. This information can be used to estimate the ...
متن کاملCompatible Video Coding of Stereoscopic Sequences using MPEG-2's Scalability and Interlaced Structure
Three approaches of an MPEG-2 compatible coding technique are presented for stereoscopic sequences. The rst method utilizes the spatial scalability structure and the second employs the temporal scalability syntax. The scalability extensions of the video coding standard make the processing easier to accommodate the transmission of a stereoscopic video stream. The left and right channels required...
