  • SELECTIVE PERCEPTUAL MASKING VIA SCALE SEPARATION IN THE SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL DOMAINS FOR USE IN DATA COMPRESSION WITH MOTION COMPENSATION
    Publication number: 20160241884
    Abstract: 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. An additional exemplary embodiment of the method provides a novel pyramid-based motion compensation technique to improve overall performance of the method for processing the video.
