CH-4 – Features Extraction – Part-4

Posted on Author Ali Imran Comment(0)

Important Note: This article is part of the series in which TechReport.us discusses the theory of Video Stream Matching.

In the realm of Video Stream Matching, four essential features are integral:

  1. Histogram
  2. Edge
  3. Slope
  4. Wavelet

Here, we will delve into the algorithms associated with each of these features one by one.

4.4.1 Histogram Feature Extraction

4.4.1.1 Algorithm 2

As outlined in Chapter 3.

Input:

  • BMP Image

Output:

  • Array of numerical values defining the Histogram

Working:

  1. The algorithm takes an image as input.
  2. If the image is not already in grayscale, it is converted into grayscale.
  3. The image is then divided into tiles, and the histogram of each tile is calculated.
  4. The calculated histograms are stored in columns and rows, forming a 2D array that represents the result.

Algorithm Steps:

  • Step 0: Start
  • Step 1: Take input of an image (im).
  • Step 2: Check if (im) is in grayscale. If not, convert (im) into grayscale.
  • Steps 3-8: Loop through tiles of the image, extract sub-images, calculate histograms (H), increment the number of bins (NumBins), and store the histograms in the resultant array (ResArray).
  • Step 9: Return the resulting array (ResArray).
  • Step 10: Stop

The GUI of the Video Stream Matching (VSM) system comprises 29 control buttons and 3 axes for displaying results. The Refresh Button clears all axes and unloads loaded data. The “Load Target Video” button prompts for selecting an AVI file to load as the test video. The loaded video plays in the “Axes Target Video/Frame,” with the Play Button performing the same function. The “Frames” button extracts frames from both the target and source videos. Lastly, the “Exit” Button closes the VSM application.

tep 3 determines the edge direction based on the gradient in the x and y directions. The edge direction is calculated using the inverse tangent of the ratio of the y-gradient to the x-gradient. Error handling is implemented to manage cases where the x-gradient is zero, ensuring accurate edge direction calculations. Finally, the edge orientation is resolved into one of four directions (0, 45, 90, or 135 degrees) based on the closest alignment to the surrounding pixels, facilitating edge detection and localization.

The BMP (Bitmap) file format, standard for Windows, stores device-independent bitmap images. It can include compression but typically lacks animation support. Comprising structures like BITMAPFILEHEADER and BITMAPINFOHEADER, it specifies image dimensions, colors, and compression. The RGBQUAD array defines color components, while pixel data interpretation varies based on the BITMAPINFOHEADER. Notably, DIB rows are stored upside-down, with row byte counts adjusted to multiples of four. Key frames in videos are essential for defining movement sequences, serving as anchor points for animation. Feature extraction simplifies complex data analysis by constructing combinations of variables, reducing resource requirements while maintaining accuracy.
