Motion estimation method for control on the basis of scene analysis in video compression systems
First Claim
1. A method for presenting a video film comprising the steps of;
- a) presenting the video film as a dynamic sequence of scenarios;
b) presenting the scenarios as a sequence of scenes, each scene being replaced by another;
c) presenting the conditions of a subject field in a given moment of time, by means of adequate description of a set of objects interacting with each other; and
d) presenting the objects of a scene with the required degree of adequacy on the basis of a theoretical-multiple description in terms of pixels, their properties and the relationships between them.

Abstract
The method for video compression to a high degree on the basis of the calculation of motion estimation is based on obtaining complete information and on the structure and dynamic of the inter-frame interaction and its use in video compression procedures. Video films are presented as a series of scenarios, which are examined as a series of scenes, dynamically replacing each other. Scene analysis is presented as a labeled graph of relationships between subjects. Coding of scenes permits consideration of their structure and the structure of subjects by using an adaptive metric. An increase in the degree of compression and improvement in the quality of the images obtained by removal of unwanted artifacts during compression are permitted. The disclosed method checks for conflicting situations during motion estimation, and its reverse-recursive structure provides for their removal. The stochastic nature of the criteria for the proximity of the object is also considered.

2. A method for controlling compression of a video film having a dynamic sequence of images, comprising the steps of:
-
a) classifying the dynamic sequence of images according to the degree of the correlation between the same images in similar scenarios;
b) selecting a scenario (i) from within the dynamic sequence of images;
c) selecting an image (j) from within the scenario (i);
d) selecting a strategy for global control with motion estimation for a class subsequent of images that form one common scenario;
e) selecting a local strategy for control with motion estimation for the current scenario (i) and image (j);
f) setting the parameters for the local strategy for control with motion estimation during the process of encoding blocks of the current scenario (i);
g) assuming that (i) is the number of the current scenario and (j) is the number of the encoded image;
h) constructing a graph of the interconnections of the relationships of the objects in image (j) and scenario (i); and
i) encoding image (j) and scenario (i) with the selected strategy for global control and local strategy for control with motion estimation. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
