Segmentierungsverfahren von beweglichen elektronischen Bildern in Beziehung auf die Bewegung von Bildblöcken mit Konturerkennungsverfahren.

摘要

The field of the invention is that of the analysis and coding of electronic image sequences. The objective is to furnish such a process which determines the speed of displacement of the contour, in an image, and especially contours with translational displacement, intended to be inserted in an image-segmentation process allowing a compression of the image signal without psychovisual degradation of the reconstructed image. This objective is in particular achieved with the aid of a process of image segmentation into blocks with single speed of displacement vector, characterised in that it comprises a process (13) for detecting a contour in each of the said image blocks, and in that the said speed-representing vector allocated (17) to a block possessing a single predominant contour is the speed of displacement vector of the said contour. Advantageously, the speed representing vector is chosen from a set of n vectors, previously chosen (15) as being the most representative of the current image. A preferential application is to be found in TVHD image compression for transmission through MAC channel.
