This project introduces configurable motion estimation architecture for a wide range of fast block-matching algorithms (BMAs). Contemporary motion estimation architectures are either too rigid for multiple BMAs or the flexibility in them is implemented at the cost of reduced performance. In block-based motion estimation, a block-matching algorithm (BMA) searches for the best matching block for the current macro block from the reference frame. During the searching procedure, the checking point yielding the minimum block distortion (MBD) determines the displacement of the best matching block.

This document proposes an adaptive rood pattern search (ARPS) algorithm for fast block matching motion estimation. ARPS uses adjustable search patterns centered around a predicted motion vector value to quickly locate the minimum matching error point. It employs a checking bit-map and zero-motion prejudgment to avoid duplicate computations and benefit sequences with small motion. Experimental results show ARPS achieves 94-447x speedup over full search with less than 0.12dB drop in PSNR quality compared to full search for most sequences.

Optimization of Macro Block Size for Adaptive Rood Pattern Search Block Match...IJERA Editor

In area of video compression, Motion Estimation is one of the most important modules and play an important role to design and implementation of any the video encoder. It consumes more than 85% of video encoding time due to searching of a candidate block in the search window of the reference frame. Various block matching methods have been developed to minimize the search time. In this context, Adaptive Rood Pattern Search is one of the less expensive block matching methods, which is widely acceptable for better Motion Estimation in video data processing. In this paper we have proposed to optimize the macro block size used in adaptive rood pattern search method for improvement in motion estimation.

An Efficient Block Matching Algorithm Using Logical ImageIJERA Editor

Motion estimation, which has been widely used in various image sequence coding schemes, plays a key role in the transmission and storage of video signals at reduced bit rates. There are two classes of motion estimation methods, Block matching algorithms (BMA) and Pel-recursive algorithms (PRA). Due to its implementation simplicity, block matching algorithms have been widely adopted by various video coding standards such as CCITT H.261, ITU-T H.263, and MPEG. In BMA, the current image frame is partitioned into fixed-size rectangular blocks. The motion vector for each block is estimated by finding the best matching block of pixels within the search window in the previous frame according to matching criteria. The goal of this work is to find a fast method for motion estimation and motion segmentation using proposed model. Recent day Communication between ends is facilitated by the development in the area of wired and wireless networks. And it is a challenge to transmit large data file over limited bandwidth channel. Block matching algorithms are very useful in achieving the efficient and acceptable compression. Block matching algorithm defines the total computation cost and effective bit budget. To efficiently obtain motion estimation different approaches can be followed but above constraints should be kept in mind. This paper presents a novel method using three step and diamond algorithms with modified search pattern based on logical image for the block based motion estimation. It has been found that, the improved PSNR value obtained from proposed algorithm shows a better computation time (faster) as compared to original Three step Search (3SS/TSS ) method .The experimental results based on the number of video sequences were presented to demonstrate the advantages of proposed motion estimation technique.

Fast Motion Estimation for Quad-Tree Based Video Coder Using Normalized Cross...CSCJournals

Motion estimation is the most challenging and time consuming stage in block based video codec. To reduce the computation time, many fast motion estimation algorithms were proposed and implemented. This paper proposes a quad-tree based Normalized Cross Correlation (NCC) measure for obtaining estimates of inter-frame motion. The measure operates in frequency domain using FFT algorithm as the similarity measure with an exhaustive full search in region of interest. NCC is a more suitable similarity measure than Sum of Absolute Difference (SAD) for reducing the temporal redundancy in video compression since we can attain flatter residual after motion compensation. The degrees of homogeneous and stationery regions are determined by selecting suitable initial fixed threshold for block partitioning. An experimental result of the proposed method shows that actual numbers of motion vectors are significantly less compared to existing methods with marginal effect on the quality of reconstructed frame. It also gives higher speed up ratio for both fixed block and quad-tree based motion estimation methods.

Passive techniques for detection of tampering in images by Surbhi Arora and S...arorasurbhi

This document summarizes research on passive techniques for detecting tampering in digital images. It discusses common types of tampering like copy-paste and describes approaches using rule-based and training-based methods. For rule-based, it evaluates exact match, robust match, and SURF features techniques. For training-based, it trains SVMs on block intensities, DWT/DFT moments, and SURF features. Testing showed the combination of Hu moments and block intensity had highest accuracy. While rule-based is not dependent on training data, training-based can detect more transformations but depends on training data quality and quantity. Future work involves improving rule-based for noise and SURF segmentation and adding more training images

A ROBUST BACKGROUND REMOVAL ALGORTIHMS USING FUZZY C-MEANS CLUSTERINGIJNSA Journal

Background subtraction is typically one of the first steps carried out in motion detection using static video cameras. This paper presents a novel method for background removal that processes only some pixels of each image. Some regions of interest of the objects in the image or frame are located with the help of edge detector. Once the region is detected only that area will be segmented instead of processing the whole image. This method achieves a significant reduction in computation time that can be used for subsequent image analysis. In this paper we detect the foreground object with the help of edge detector and combine the Fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm to segment the object by means of subtracting the current frame from the previous frame, the accurate background is identified.

Median based parallel steering kernel regression for image reconstructioncsandit

Image reconstruction is a process of obtaining the original image from corrupted data. Applications of image reconstruction include Computer Tomography, radar imaging, weather forecasting etc. Recently steering kernel regression method has been applied for image reconstruction [1]. There are two major drawbacks in this technique. Firstly, it is computationally intensive. Secondly, output of the algorithm suffers form spurious edges (especially in case of denoising). We propose a modified version of Steering Kernel Regression called as Median Based Parallel Steering Kernel Regression Technique. In the proposed algorithm the first problem is overcome by implementing it in on GPUs and multi-cores. The second problem is addressed by a gradient based suppression in which median filter is used. Our algorithm gives better output than that of the Steering Kernel Regression. The results are compared using Root Mean Square Error(RMSE). Our algorithm has also shown a speedup of 21x using GPUs and shown speedup of 6x using multi-cores.

3 d mrf based video tracking in the compressed domaineSAT Journals

Abstract Object tracking is an interesting and needed procedure for many real time applications. But it is a challenging one, because of the presence of challenging sequences with abrupt motion, drastic illumination change, large pose variation, occlusion, cluttered background and also the camera shake. This paper presents a novel method of object tracking by using the algorithms spatio-temporal Markov random field (STMRF) and online discriminative feature selection (ODFS), which overcome the above mentioned problems and provide a better tracking process. This method is also capable of tracking multiple objects in video sequence even in the presence of an object interactions and occlusions that achieves better results with real time performance. Keywords: Video object tracking, spatio-temporal Markov random field (ST-MRF), online discriminative feature selection (ODFS).

Design and implementation of video tracking system based on camera field of viewsipij

The basic idea of this paper is to design and implement of video tracking system based on Camera Field of View (CFOV), Otsu’s method was used to detect targets such as vehicles and people. Whereas most algorithms were spent a lot of time to execute the process, an algorithm was developed to achieve it in a little time. The histogram projection was used in both directional to detect target from search region, which is robust to various light conditions in Charge Couple Device (CCD) camera images and saves computation time. Our algorithm based on background subtraction, and normalize cross correlation operation from a series of sequential sub images can estimate the motion vector. Camera field of view (CFOV) was determined and calibrated to find the relation between real distance and image distance. The system was tested by measuring the real position of object in the laboratory and compares it with the result of computed one. So these results are promising to develop the system in future.

Automatic Determination Number of Cluster for NMKFC-Means Algorithms on Image...IOSR Journals

This document discusses image segmentation techniques using clustering algorithms. It introduces Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) clustering, which allows data points to belong to multiple clusters with varying degrees of membership. However, FCM does not work well on noisy or non-linearly separable data. The document proposes the Kernel Fuzzy C-Means (KFCM) algorithm, which uses a kernel function to map data to a higher dimensional space, making separation easier. While improving results for noisy images, KFCM does not consider neighboring pixels. Finally, the document introduces the Novel Modified Kernel Fuzzy C-Means (NMKFCM) algorithm, which incorporates neighborhood information into the objective function to further improve segmentation accuracy, especially for noisy images
