Abstract

In this paper, we propose a method that converts motion vectors on MPEG coded domain as a uniform set, independent of the frame type and the direction of prediction, and directly utilizes these normalized motion vectors for understanding video contents. This frame-type-independent motion vectors are utilized as feature information for image retrieval or moving object tracking on compressed domain. By simulation, we evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method and compare its performance to the conventional method.
