A technique for an efficient video coding based on characteristics of human visual response in relation to motion is described in this paper. An input frame is segmented into low frequency bands and high frequency bands by wavelet transformation. The non-sensitivity parts of the segmented bands are removed according to spatial and directional frequency sensitivity, which is related to motion property in a frame. Experimental results of the proposed method show good performance in PSNR with keeping on without degradation of subjective quality with 21-30:1 coding rate.

Gait Recognition is a new technique to identify the people by the way they walk. Human gait is a spatio-temporal phenomenon that typifies the motion characteristics of an individual. The proposed method makes a simple but efficient attempt to gait recognition. For each video file, spatial silhouettes of a walker are extracted by an improved background subtraction procedure using Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM). Here GMM is used as a parametric probability density function represented as a weighted sum of Gaussian component densities. Then, the relevant features are extracted from the silhouette tracked from the given video file using the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) method. The Fisher Linear Discriminant Analysis (FLDA) classifier is used in the classification of dimensional reduced image derived by the PCA method for gait recognition. Although gait images can be easily acquired, the gait recognition is affected by clothes, shoes, carrying status and specific physical condition of an individual. To overcome this problem, it is combined with footprint as a multimodal biometric system. The minutiae is extracted from the footprint and then fused with silhouette image using the Discrete Stationary Wavelet Transform (DSWT). The experimental result shows that the efficiency of proposed fusion algorithm works well and attains better result while comparing with other fusion schemes.

Image compression is now essential for applications such as transmission and storage in data bases. For video and digital image applications the use of long tap filters, while not providing any significant coding gain, may increase the hardware complexity. We use a wavelet transform in order to obtain a set of bi-orthogonal sub-classes of images; First, the design of short kernel symmetric analysis is presented in 1-dimensional case. Second, the original image is decomposed at different scales using a subband filter banks. Third, this paper is presented a technique for obtaining 2-dimensional bi-orthogonal filters using McClellan transform. It is shown that suggested wavelet bases is well used on wavelet transform for image compression. From performance comparison of bi-orthogonal filter, we actually use filters close to ortho-normal filters on application of wavelet bases to image analysis.

The data structure of the concentric mosaic can be regarded as a video sequence with a slowly panning camera. We take a concentric mosaic with match or alignment of video sequences. Also the concentric mosaic required for huge memory. Thus, compressing is essential in order to use the concentric mosaic. Therefore we need the algorithm that compressed data structure was maintained and the scene was decoded. In this paper, we used 3D lifting transform to compress concentric mosaic. Lifting transform has a merit of wavelet transform and reduces computation quantities and memory. Because each frame has high correlation, the complexity which a scene is detected form 3D transformed bitstream is increased. Thus, in order to have higher performance and decrease the complexity of detecting of a scene we executed 3D lifting and then transformed data set was sequently compressed with each frame unit. Each frame has a flexible bit rate. Also, we proposed the algorithm that compressed data structure was maintained and the scene was decoded by using property of lifting structure.

A novel and universal method of video image text detection is proposed. A coarse-to-fine text detection method is implemented. Firstly, the spectral clustering (SC) method is adopted to coarsely detect text regions based on the stationary wavelet transform (SWT). In order to make full use of the information, multi-parameters kernel function which combining the features similarity information and spatial adjacency information is employed in the SC method. Secondly, 28 dimension classifying features are proposed and support vector machine (SVM) is implemented to classify text regions with non-text regions. Experimental results on video images show the encouraging performance of the proposed algorithm and classifying features.

In this paper, picture set filter is proposed for preserving compression ratio and video qualify. This filter controls the compression ratio of each frame depending on the correlation to the reference frame by selectively eliminating less important high-resolution areas. Consequently, video quality can be preserved and bit rate can be controlled adaptively. In the simulation, to test the performance of the proposed coding method, comparisons with the full search block matching algorithm and the differential image coding algorithm are made. In the former case, video quality, compression ratio and encoding time is improved. In the latter case, video quality is degraded, but compression ratio and encoding time is improved. Consequently. the proposed method shows a reasonably good performance over existing ones.

This paper presents a image coding method that is well adaptive to close-range video transmission because of its low titrate and simple coding procedure. At first, it reduces temporal redundancies by performing image DPCM between previous frame and current frame, and makes wavelet transformed image of this difference image. Then, the coefficients are quantized selectively by using the coefficient values of base level and mid-frequency level because inter-level redundancies are widely exists in multi-resolution images. Finally quantized coefficients are made iron the function that implies the target bitrate, the average coefficient energy, and the value of the level. The proposed method shows the effective Performance in the experiments using the continuous motion images and transition images.

본 논문에서는, 이산 웨이블릿 변환(DWT: discrete wavelet transform)에 기초한 저속 비트율 비디오 코딩 방법의 알고리즘으로써, PZTACC 방법을 제안한다. 접근 방법은 양자화된 웨이블릿 계수들이 웨이블릿 서브밴드 구조내에서 중복성을 활용하는 메커니즘에 의해서 전처리 된다면 코딩 절차가 더욱 효과적으로 작용하여 나타난다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 partitioning, Zero-Tree aggregation, 조건적 코딩의 개념들을 기초로 하는 프리코딩 기법의 새로운 구조를 소개한다. 복원된 비디오의 주관적인 성능은 일반적으로 MPEG4의 VM 구현으로부터 획득된 성능(1.5 dB PSNR 이상)보다 우수하다. 게다가, 인트라프레임모드에 제한되어 있을 때, 제안된 코딩 알고리즘은 정지영상 압축에 대하여 최고로 보고되는 결과를 산출한다.
