Title: Enhancing video quality based on psychophysical studies of smooth pursuit eye movements.
Creator: Chilamakuri, Pavani., Florida Atlantic University, Furht, Borko, Glenn, William E., College of Engineering and Computer Science, Department of Computer and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science

The characteristics of the human vision system when smooth pursuit eye movements occur are different from those when the eye fixates on an object such as a video screen during motion.

Show moreWhen motion occurs in a scene, the quality of video degrades due to motion smear, which results in a loss of contrast in the image. The characteristics of the human vision system when smooth pursuit eye movements occur are different from those when the eye fixates on an object such as a video screen during motion. Smooth pursuit eye movements dominate in the presence of dynamic stimuli. In the presence of smooth pursuit eye movements, the contrast sensitivity for increasing target velocities shifts toward lower spatial frequencies. The sensitivity for low spatial frequencies during motion is higher than for a stationary case. This dissertation will propose a method to improve the perceptual quality of video using temporal enhancement prefiltering technique based on the characteristics of Smooth Pursuit Eye Movements (SPEM). The resulting technique closely matches the characteristics of the human visual system (HVS). When motion occurs, the eye tracks the moving targets in a scene as opposed to fixating on any portion of the scene. Hence, psychophysical studies of smooth pursuit eye movements were used as a basis to design the temporal filters. Results of experiments show that temporal enhancement results in improved quality by increasing the apparent sharpness of the image sequence. In this dissertation, a study of research describing how motion affects the image quality at the camera lens and the human eye is presented. This dissertation uses that research to develop a temporal enhancement technique to improve the quality of video degraded by motion.

Show moreThe classic methods in indexing image and video databases are either using keywords or analysis of color distribution. In the recent year, there is a new standard in image and video compression standard called JPEG and MPEG respectively. One of the basic operations of JPEG and MPEG is Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT). The human visual system is known to be very dependent on spatial frequency. The DCT has capability to provide a good approximation of the images' spatial frequency that is sensitive to human eyes. We take this advantage of DCT in indexing image and video databases. However, the two-dimensional DCT can give us 64 coefficients per block of 8 x 8 pixels. These numbers are too many to calculate to receive fast indexing results. We use only first coefficient of DCT called DC coefficient to represent an 8 x 8 block of transformed data. This representation yields satisfactory indexing results.

Creator: Furht, Borko, Kalva, Hari, Christodoulou, Lakis
Abstract/Description: This paper presents the results of the 3DTV quality evaluation on autostereoscopic displays using asymmetric view coding. Asymmetric view coding encodes the stereo views with different quality. It has been shown that the human visual system is able to compensate for this asymmetric view quality and present a good quality 3D video. Asymmetric video coding can be exploited to reduce the bandwidth requirements for 3DTV services. The key factors that affect the asymmetric video coding are the...

Show moreThis thesis presents a survey of multimedia networks and the techniques to improve the capacity of video on demand systems. A survey was conducted and comparative evaluation was done to determine the multimedia capabilities of various networks. Video on demand is an electronic video rental system in which clients request and play videos on-demand. Video on-demand system can be implemented over an existing cable TV network or an upgraded ADSL network. The two techniques used to improve the capacity of video on-demand systems are segmentation and multicasting. Segmentation consists of dividing the video into several fixed length segments, and then transmitting the segments at regular intervals instead of transmitting the video continuously. With multicasting, more than one user requesting the same video are served by a single video stream. Multicasting further assumes that each subscriber has a limited storage space, so same video segments can be multicast to subscribers simultaneously even if the requests for a video are not synchronous.

Show moreThe Interlaced Pixel Delta (IPD) Video Codec is a real time video compression and decompression engine. It is specifically designed to be used for video phone or video conferencing applications that are to be run under very low bandwidth networking conditions. The example network used throughout this dissertation is the Internet where users are typically connected at transmission speeds of 33.3 K bits per second or less. In order to accomplish this goal, the IPD codec must achieve very high compression ratios. This feat is further complicated by the fact that the IPD codec is to be fully realized using a software approach in order to be considered a viable solution for the average Internet user. The demonstrated test results show that the IPD codec is capable of achieving these ambitious goals. The IPD compressor operates in a pipelined manner. Each stage in the IPD compression pipeline has its own complexities and challenges, which are individually addressed in detail. The ultimate goal of the IPD compressor is to maintain a constant compression ratio that is sufficiently high enough to allow bi-directional video communication to take place across low bandwidth transmission lines. These compression ratios must be achieved using a software compressor and decompressor. Strict CPU utilization requirements must be met by the IPD codec in order for it to be able to operate in real time. The IPD compressor defines a unique video interlacing scheme to sample the pixels that comprise the incoming video frames. The properties of the interlacing schemes aid the video compressor in its quest for high compression ratios. Later in the decompression stage, the IPD decompressor uses the properties of the interlacing schemes to reverse the sampling process to bring back the original picture quality. The IPD compressor also employs a custom variation of the error diffusion algorithm in its color reduction phase. A pixel delta algorithm is used to build a new frame from a previous frame. The pixel delta algorithm defines a unique bitmask representation of pixel locations that are flagged for refresh. These pixel locations will be used to build a subsequent frame. The bitmask representation of pixel locations is further compressed using a variation of the Huffman compression algorithm. An IPD delta frame is built by the IPD compressor. The IPD delta frame contains a header, the compressed bitmask of pixel locations flagged for change and the actual compressed pixel intensity values used used to build a new frame from a previous frame. The IPD decompressor also operates in a pipelined manner. The IPD decompressor also has strict requirements with respect to CPU utilization. The IPD decompressor applies several image processing algorithms to the video output stream in order to enhance the visual quality of the reconstructed output video frames. Custom test programs are used to derive and validate the algorithms presented in this dissertation. A working prototype of the complete IPD codec is also presented to aid in the visual analysis of the final video picture quality.

Show moreThe field of video game studies is young and requires innovation in its approach to its object of study. Despite the large number of Japanese games and game developers, most scholars in the West approach video games from a point of view that emphasizes Western thought and that is concerned with either very recent video games or the medium as a whole. The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask defies Western interpretations as its inspiration and aesthetics are steeped in a Japanese theatrical tradition that dates to the early Middle Ages, namely Noh theater. The game’s emphasis on masks and possession provides unique commentary on the experience of playing a video game while the structure of the game harkens back to traditional Noh cycles, tying in pre-modern ideas with a modern medium in order to comment on video games and the people who play them.

Show moreIn order to effectively transport digital compressed video over Broadband Integrated Services Digital Networks (B-ISDN) with Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), the characteristics of the video source traffic should be understood. The nature of the video traffic depends primarily on the source, the content of the video and the coding algorithm that removes redundancies for efficient transmission over networks. In this study, video conference data encoded using a subband coding scheme, Digital Video Compression System (DVCS), is analyzed to determine its characteristics. Several video traffic sources are multiplexed through an ATM network node with limited capacity and the performance of this environment is evaluated by using a simulation technique. The simulation results are presented for the performance measures for varying traffic and network conditions.

Show moreLower prices of video sensors, security concerns and the need for better and faster algorithms to extract high level information from video sequences are all factors which have stimulated research in the area of automated video surveillance systems. In the context of security the analysis of human interrelations and their environment provides hints to proactively identify anomalous behavior. However, human detection is a necessary component in systems where the automatic extraction of higher level information, such as recognizing individuals' activities, is required. The human detection problem is one of classification. In general, motion, appearance and shape are the classification approaches a system can employ to perform human detection. Techniques representative of these approaches, such us periodic motion detection, skin color detection and MPEG-7 shape descriptors are implemented in this work. An infrastructure that allows data collection for such techniques was also implemented.
