Versatile Video Coding (VVC) is the most recent video coding standard, which had been developed by Joint Video Expert Team (JVET). It can improve significant coding performance compared to the previous standard, namely High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC). Although VVC can achieve the powerful coding performance, it requires the tremendous computational complexity of VVC encoder. Especially, affine motion compensation (AMC) was adopted the block-based 4-parameter or 6-parameter affine prediction to overcome the limit of translational motion model while VVC require the cost of higher encoding complexity. In this paper, we proposed the early termination of AMC that determines whether the affine motion estimation for AMC is performed or not. Experimental results showed that the proposed method reduced the encoding complexity of affine motion estimation (AME) up to 16% compared to the VVC Test Model 17 (VTM17).

In this paper, we address the tracking problem caused by camera motion and rolling shutter effects associated with CMOS sensors in consumer handheld cameras, such as mobile cameras, digital cameras, and digital camcorders. A modified particle filtering method is proposed for simultaneously tracking objects and compensating for the effects of camera motion. The proposed method uses an elastic registration algorithm (ER) that considers the global affine motion as well as the brightness and contrast between images, assuming that camera motion results in an affine transform of the image between two successive frames. By assuming that the camera motion is modeled globally by an affine transform, only the global affine model instead of the local model was considered. Only the brightness parameter was used in intensity variation. The contrast parameters used in the original ER algorithm were ignored because the change in illumination is small enough between temporally adjacent frames. The proposed particle filtering consists of the following four steps: (i) prediction step, (ii) compensating prediction state error based on camera motion estimation, (iii) update step and (iv) re-sampling step. A larger number of particles are needed when camera motion generates a prediction state error of an object at the prediction step. The proposed method robustly tracks the object of interest by compensating for the prediction state error using the affine motion model estimated from ER. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms the conventional particle filter, and can track moving objects robustly in consumer handheld imaging devices.

Light Field (LF) image can be understood as a set of images captured by a multi-view camera array at the same time. The changes among views can be modeled by a general motion model such as affine motion model. In this paper, we study the impact of affine coding tool of Versatile Video Coding (VVC) on LF image compression. Our experimental results show a small contribution by affine coding tool in overall LF image compression of roughly 0.2% - 0.4%.

A limitation is assumed that In this paper, a generalized method is proposed to extract a period of a motion of on object. To detect a periodic motion, we put restrictions on a stationary camera and on a motion of an object. We ca derive the necessary and sufficient condition that an image sequence consists of the projection of the periodic motion by the affine transformation that is a reasonally good approach to the perspective projection. The difficulty of detecting its periodic motion is to select its have period in sequence and to define its width.

본 논문에서는 비디오 데이타를 분석하여 다양한 카메라의 동작을 정량적으로 추출하는 방법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 카메라의 동작 추출 방법은 어파인 모델을 이용한 방법으로 인접 영상으로부터 추출한 동작 벡터를 어파인 모델에 적용하고 회귀분석법을 통해 어파인 모델을 구성하는 파라미터를 구한다. 그런 다음, 파라미터들의 크기를 분석하고 상호 관계를 해석하여 카메라의 동작을 추출한다. 본 논문에서는 잡음이 포함된 동작 벡터를 필터링하여 사용하므로 잡음에 강건한 결과를 얻을 수 있다. 그리고 어파인 모델을 구성하는 파라미터만을 분석함으로써 카메라의 다양한 동작을 간단하면서도 비교적 정확하게 추출한다. 실험 결과는 카메라의 동작을 정확하게 추출하고 있음을 보여준다.Abstract This paper presents an elegant method, an affine-model based approach, that can qualitatively estimate the information of camera motion. We define various types of camera motion by means of parameters of an affine-model. To get those parameters from images, we fit an affine-model to the field of instantaneous velocities, rather than raw images. We correlate consecutive images to get instantaneous velocities. The size filtering of the velocities are applied to remove noisy components, and the regression approach is employed for the fitting procedure. The fitted values of the parameters are examined to get the estimates of camera motion. The experimental results show that the suggested approach can yield the qualitative information of camera motion successfully.

Recently, a generation of high quality mosaic images from video sequences has been attempted by a variety of investigations. Among the matter of investigation, in this paper, generation on stereo mosaic utilizing airborne-video sequence images is focused upon. The stereo mosaic is made by creating left and right mosaic which are fabricated by front and rear slices having different viewing angle in consecutive video frames. For making the stereo mosaic, motion parameters which are able to define geometric relationship between consecutive video frames are determined. For determining motion parameters, affine model which is able to explain relative motion parameters is applied by this paper. The mosaicing method using relative motion parameters is called by free mosaic. The free mosaic proposed in this paper consists of 4 step processes: image registration with reference to first frame using affine model, front and rear slicing, stitching line definition and image mosaicing. As the result of experiment, the left and right mosaic image, anaglyphic image for stereo mosaic images are showed and analyzed y-parallax for checking accuracy.

The motion-based video segmentation provides a powerful method of video compression, because it defines a region with similar motion, and it makes video compression system to more efficiently describe motion video. In this paper, we propose the Modified Fuzzy Competitive Learning Algorithm (MFCLA) to improve the traditional K-menas clustering algorithm to implement the motion-based video segmentation efficiently. The segmented region is described with the affine model, which consists of only six parameters. This affine model was calculated with optical flow, describing the movements of pixels by frames. This method could be applied in the low bit rate video transmission, such as video conferencing system.

In this paper, we propose a robust real-time myocardial border tracking algorithm for echocardiography. Commonly, after an initial contour of LV border is traced at one or two frame from the entire cardiac cycle, LV contour tracking is performed over the remaining frames. Among a variety of tracking techniques, optical flow method is the most widely used for motion estimation of moving objects. However, when echocardiography data is heavily corrupted in some local regions, the errors bring the tracking point out of the endocardial border, resulting in distorted LV contours. This shape distortion often occurs in practice since the data acquisition is affected by ultrasound artifacts, dropout or shadowing phenomena of cardiac walls. The proposed method deals with this shape distortion problem and reflects the motion realistic LV shape by applying global deformation modeled as affine transform partitively to the contour. We partition the tracking points on the contour into a few groups and determine each affine transform governing the motion of the partitioned contour points. To compute the coefficients of each affine transform, we use the least squares method with equality constraints that are given by the relationship between the coefficients and a few contour points showing good tracking results. Many real experiments show that the proposed method supports better performance than existing methods.
