摘要:
Objects in an image sequence are tracked within a bounding box such that the object is assured to some extent of being contained within the bounding box. The location of the object within the bounding box is less important than knowing with some certainty that the object is within the bounding box, unlike previous methods that attempt to center an object within a bounding box. The approach, which uses histograms of image features such as color indices, is suited to applications such as zooming and is robust to occlusions, out-of-plane rotations, illumination changes and long-term tracking drift.

A color video processing method is disclosed that comprises: marking out an object from a background in each frame of a sequence of frames of a color video, selecting at least two successive frames, determining a global color template from the backgrounds of the selected frames, for each selected frame and for colors of the marked out object, determining an harmonized color according to the global color template, in such a way that the harmonized color is closer to the global color template than the original color.

A method for detecting the presence of a logo in a current picture of a video is disclosed. The method comprises: determining a current candidate logo bounding box in the current picture and a preceding candidate logo bounding box in a picture preceding the current picture; detecting the presence of a logo in the current picture if at least one of the following conditions is fulfilled: the distance between the centers of the current and the preceding candidate logo bounding boxes is below a first threshold or an overlap between the current and the preceding candidate logo bounding boxes is above a second threshold; or an overlap between the current candidate logo bounding box and a saliency mask of the current picture is above a third, wherein the saliency mask identifies regions around saliency peaks.

A method for controlling tracking using a color model is disclosed. The method includes obtaining a window in a second frame of a video image corresponding to a window in a first frame of the video image using a tracking algorithm in a tracking mode, wherein each pixel in the video image has at least one color component. The method further includes defining a background area around the window in the first frame, assigning a pixel confidence value for each pixel in the second frame according to a color model, assigning a window confidence value for the window in the second frame according to the pixel confidence values of pixels in the window in the second frame, if the window confidence value is greater than a first confidence threshold, selecting the tracking mode, and if the window confidence value is not greater than the first confidence threshold, selecting a mode different from the tracking mode.

A method for processing a picture is disclosed. The method according to the invention comprises: segmenting the picture into a background layer and at least another layer; selecting a background template of color harmony for the background layer; determining one template of color harmony for each of the at least another layer from the background template of color harmony depending on the distance between the background layer and said at least another layer. processing the picture by mapping the colors of each segmented layer using the corresponding template of color harmony.

The present invention generally relates to a method and apparatus for creating an harmony map of an image. It also relates to a method and apparatus for assessing the quality of an image. The invention also relates to a method and apparatus for assessing the quality of an image such that an assessment score of the image is obtained from a perceptual map of the image created from the previous method. As an interesting tool for content creator and in the goal of maximizing the artistic effect, the proposed method provides perceptual harmony-guided quality map as well as a score of disharmony of a picture without reference image. The method links two distinct subjects: perceptual quality metric and harmonious hue templates in order to provide new tools to content creator whatever the expertise level.

Reframing is used to re-size an image or video content, e.g. for displaying video signals with a given aspect ratio on a display having a different aspect ratio. Window cropping parameters (position and size over time) are constrained in order to optimise the rate/distortion of the encoded output video signal. Initial reframing is improved by computing a saliency map representing a user attention map which considers the video coding context and by providing a macroblock coding efficiency cost map and then taking the saliency map or a combined saliency/coding cost map into account so that the coding cost for said reframed video signal is smaller than the coding cost for other candidate reframing windows' sizes and positions.

A method for processing a video is disclosed. The method comprises: obtaining a type and an angle of a template for each picture of the video independently, each template defining a portion of harmonious color values; temporally filtering the types and angles over the video; processing each picture of the video, wherein processing the picture comprises mapping the colors of the picture into the template associated with the picture and defined by the filtered type and the filtered angle.
