Video Analysis & Motion Processing

 
Video Analysis

Video Analysis and Motion Processing involve the collection and processing of information from sequences of digital images. In some cases, the images represent a time sequences of video frames captured from a single camera, and the analysis and processing exploit the temporal correlation from one frame to the next in the sequence. In other cases, the images may be derived from a collection of multiple cameras capturing one or more scenes, and the processing may involve reconstructing three-dimensional scene data from the collection of two-dimensional images.

The information gathered in a video analysis or motion processing algorithm may correspond to global descriptors of the data. Such descriptors include camera motion estimates, which may be used to identify motion such as panning or zooming, or even to detect and remove camera jitter. The information may also relate to objects in the scene, tracking their presence, size, shape, location, direction and speed of motion, and other features through the sequence of images.

Applications involving video analysis and motion processing are numerous. Motion analysis can be used in surveillance to detect changes and abnormal events in a scene in security systems. In manufacturing, motion analysis can be used to detect inefficiencies or malfunctions in a process. In biology, video analysis can be used to track and/or count particles such as bacteria or viruses. In the consumer and entertainment domains, video analysis and motion processing can also be used for applications such as video key-frame extraction, digital video stabilization, video super-resolution, annotation and indexing, search and retrieval, enhancement and restoration, and special effects.
