SELECTIVE PERCEPTUAL MASKING VIA SCALE SEPARATION IN THE SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL DOMAINS USING INTRINSIC IMAGES FOR USE IN DATA COMPRESSION

摘要

An automated, computerized method for processing a video is provided. The method includes providing a video file depicting a video, in a computer memory; providing a video file depicting a video, in a computer memory; scale separating the video file by applying an edge-preserving blurring filter to generate a detail scale- separated video and a level scale-separated video corresponding to the video; temporally blurring the detail scale- separated video and spatially blurring the level scale-separated video; combining the filtered detailed scale- separated video and the filtered level scale- separated video to provide an output video; and outputting the output video for use in a data compression operation.
