Summary on Grant Application Form
Next generation video coding techniques can provide key technologies for efficient compression of video for many applications. Content-based manipulation of video will be a main requirement in future interactive multimedia and communication applications. It is known that human visual perception is governed by spatial and temporal information present in the natural scenes. Therefore content is best represented and extracted by exploiting these perceptual characteristics. The purpose of this research is to develop novel segmentation algorithms exploiting the joint spatio temporal information in scene content. These will be particularly important in applications where some priori knowledge of scene content can be used to constrain and simplify the segmentation, classification and coding process.
