Motion Estimation And Video Coding, Xiaochun Xia

Dissertations

Over the last ten years. research on the analysis of visual motion has come to play a key role in the fields of data compression for visual communication as well as computer vision. Enormous efforts have been made on the design of various motion estimation algorithms.

One of the fundamental tasks in motion estimation is the accurate measurement of 2-D dense motion fields. For this purpose. we devise and present in this dissertation a multiattribute feedback computational framework. In this framework for each pixel in an image. instead of a single image intensity. multiple image attributes are computed as conservation …
