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; scale separating the video file to generate a first scale-separated video and a second scale-separated video corresponding to the video; filtering at least one of the first scale-separated video and the second scale-separated video independent of the other of the first scale-separated video and the second scale-separated video to provide at least one independently filtered video; and compressing the at least one independently filtered video to provide at least one compressed video.

主权项

1. An automated, computerized method for processing a video, comprising the steps of:
providing a video file depicting a video, in a computer memory; scale separating the video file to generate a first scale separated video comprising a detail component of the video file and a second scale separated video comprising a level component of the video file; filtering at least one of the first scale separated video and the second scale separated video independent of the other of the first scale separated video and the second scale separated video to provide at least one filtered scale separated video filtered in a manner such that aspects of the video that are important for human perception of videos are maintained and aspects of the video that are not important for human perception of videos are removed; and compressing the at least one filtered scale separated video to provide at least one compressed filtered scale separated video.
