This paper presents a novel scene change detection method using complexity and edge direction based on intra prediction mode in H.264/AVC compressed video. When scene change occurs, there is less temporal correlation between consecutive frames. Therefore, most of macro-blocks are encoded in intra mode. Using this property, the proposed method calculates the percentage of intra mode blocks in ea...

SAR images are perfectly suited for change detection, given that they are not affected by different sun illumination conditions and/or clouds. There is potential to improve the SAR change detection results by taking into account prior knowledge of the scene, which can be obtained from other sources of information such as high resolution optical images and data from Geographic Information System...

In 3 experiments the author investigated the relationship between the online visual representation of natural scenes and long-term visual memory. In a change detection task, a target object either changed or remained the same from an initial image of a natural scene to a test image. Two types of changes were possible: rotation in depth, or replacement by another object from the same basic-level...

In order to process video data efficiently, a video segmentation technique through scene change detection must be employed. Many of advanced video applications require manipulations of compressed video signals. So, the scene change detection process is achieved by analyzing the video directly in the compressed domain, thereby avoiding the overhead of decompressing video into individual frames i...
