A Motion Activity Descriptor and Its Extraction in Compressed Domain
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel motion activity descriptor and its extraction from a compressed MPEG (MPEG-1/2) video stream are presented. The descriptor consists of two parts, a temporal descriptor and a spatial descriptor. To get the temporal descriptor, the “motion intensity” is first computed based on P frame macroblock information. Then the motion intensity histogram is generated for a given video unit as the temporal descriptor. To get the spatial descriptor, the average magnitude of the motion vector in a P frame is used to threshold the macro-blocks into “zero” and “non-zero” types. The average magnitude of the motion vectors and three types of runs of zeros in the frame are then taken as the spatial descriptor. Experimental results show that the proposed descriptor is fast, and that the combination of the temporal and spatial attributes is effective. Key elements of the intensity parameter, spatial parameters and the temporal histogram of the descriptor have been adopted by the draft MPEG-7 standard [10].

A Region Based Descriptor for Spatial Distribution of Motion Activity for Compressed Video
In this paper we present a new descriptor for spatial distribution of motion activity in video sequences. We construct a histogram of areas of distinct regions (or "blobs") of “motion active” regions over the entire video shot. We carry out another thresholding process on the histogram to get our descriptor, which is a histogram normalized with respect to the average size of the blobs, and thus...
متن کاملA neural network approach to key frame extraction
We present a neural network based approach to key frame extraction in the compressed domain. The proposed method is an amalgamation of both the MPEG-7 descriptors namely motion intensity descriptor and spatial activity descriptor. Shot boundary detection and block motion estimation techniques are employed prior to the extraction of the descriptors. The motion intensity (“pace of action”) is obt...
متن کاملVideo 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...
متن کاملCompressed Domain Features Extraction for Shot Characterization
In this work, we propose a system for shot comparison directly working on the MPEG-1 stream in the compressed domain, extracting both color, texture and motion features considering all frames with a reasonable computational cost, and results comparable to those obtained on uncompressed keyframes. In particular a summary descriptor for each Group Of Pictures (GOP) is computed and employed for sh...
متن کاملFast Extraction of Edge Histogram in DCT Domain based on MPEG7
In these days, multimedia data is transmitted and processed in compressed format. Due to the decoding procedure and filtering for edge detection, the feature extraction process of MPEG-7 Edge Histogram Descriptor is time-consuming as well as computationally expensive. To improve efficiency of compressed image retrieval, we propose a new edge histogram generation algorithm in DCT domain in this ...
