CH-4 – Slope Feature Extraction – Part-6

Posted on Author Ali Imran Comment(0)

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

In that section three Algos are discuss.

  • Slope Magnitude
  • Slope Direction
  • Slope Signs

4.4.3.1 Algorithm 5

Input:

BMP Image

Output:

Array Of Numerical values define the Slope Magnitude property.

Working:

It takes an Image and converts it into gray scale if it is not already in gray scale. For slope magnitude it checks the per pixel maximum change with its neighbor’s pixels.

Step 0 : Start

Step 1 : Takes input an Image (im).

Step 2 : If (im) in gray scale

If not

then

convert (im) into gray scale.

Step 3 : (im1) = Apply Padding to make it into power of two (im)

Step 4 : (I , J) = Size (im1)

Step 5 : Loop1: for I =rows of (Im1) //calculate 8-N

Step 6 : Loop2: for J = columns of (Im1)

Step 7 : Calculate 8-N for each Im(I,J)

Store the maximum Value of 8-N in Mag(I,J)

Step 8 : end Loop1

Step 9 : end Loop2

Step 10 : Return (Mag)

Step 11 : Stop

4.4.3.2 Algorithm 6

Input:

BMP Image

Output:

Array Of Numerical values define the Slope Direction property.

Working:

It takes an Image and converts it into gray scale if it is not already in gray scale. For slope Direction it checks the per pixel maximum change with its neighbor’s pixels.

Step 0 : Start

Step 1 : Takes input an Image (im).

Step 2 : If (im) in gray scale

If not

then

convert (im) into gray scale.

Step 3 : (im1) = Apply Padding to make it into power of two (im)

Step 4 : (I , J) = Size (im1)

Step 5 : Loop1: for I =rows of (Im1) //calculate 8-N

Step 6 : Loop2: for J = columns of (Im1)

Step 7 : Calculate 8-N for each Im(I,J) (s)

if s > 0

sd(i,j)=k;

elseif s < 0

sd(i,j)=k+8;

else

sd(i,j)=16;

endif

Step 8 : end Loop1

Step 9 : end Loop2

Step 10 : Return (sd)

Step 11 : Stop

4.4.3.3 Algorithm 7

Input:

BMP Image

Output:

Array Of Numerical values define the Slope Signs property.

Working:

It takes an Image and converts it into gray scale if it is not already in gray scale. For slope Signs it checks the per pixel change with its neighbor’s pixels.

Step 0 : Start

Step 1 : Takes input an Image (im).

Step 2 : If (im) in gray scale

If not

then

convert (im) into gray scale.

Step 3 : (im1) = Apply Padding to make it into power of two (im)

Step 4 : (I , J) = Size (im1)

Step 5 : Loop1: for I =rows of (Im1) //calculate 8-N

Step 6 : Loop2: for J = columns of (Im1)

Step 7 : Calculate 8-N for each Im(I,J),

Step 8 : (s) = all 8 are (ii,jj)

if s > 0

sxalgo(i,j)=1;

elseif s < 0

sxalgo(i,j)=-1;

else

sxalgo(i,j)=0;

end

Step 9 : end Loop1

Step 10 : end Loop2

Step 11: wh=1; wn=0,wp=0,wz=0;//counter for arrays

Step 12 : Loop1: for I =1:16:rows of (Im1) //make tiles

Step 13: wh=wh+1; wn=0,wp=0,wz=0;

Step 14 : Loop2: for J =1:16: columns of (Im1)

if sxalgo(g,k)>0

pc=pc+1;

elseif sxalgo(g,k)<0

nc=nc+1;

else

zc=zc+1;

end

Step 15 :

wpmat(wh,wp)=pc; // arrange values in array

wnmat(wh,wn)=nc;

wzmat(wh,wn)=zc;

Step 16: wn=wn+1,wp=wp+1,wz=wz+1;

Step 17 : end Loop1

Step 18 : end Loop2

Step 19 : slopes = [wpmat(:) , wnmat(:) , wzmat(:)] ;

Step 20 : Return (slopes)

Step 21 : Stop

CH-3 – Image Analysis – Part-2

Posted on Author Ali Imran

Descriptive statistics were developed to reduce the list of all the data items to a few simpler numbers. For example, the mean, median, high, low, and standard deviation. The cumulative fraction function displays how the data is distributed, with most data clustered on the left indicating a non-normal distribution. Scaling the x-axis, typically using a log scale for positive data, allows for better visualization. The KS-test computes the maximum vertical deviation between two datasets’ cumulative fraction curves, indicating differences in distribution.

CH-6 – Conclusion and Future Work – VSM

Posted on Author Ali Imran

This research report and software implementation delve into video comparison techniques, focusing on mean frame extraction and key feature extraction within the Video Stream Matching (VSM) system. While the initial classification relies on a statistical approach, further improvements are needed, particularly in handling highly dynamic shots. Future work involves extensive testing with varied video datasets, exploration of motion-based features, and extension of similarity analysis to entire video sequences. With a shift towards video consumption, especially through mobile platforms, VSM emerges as a vital solution for managing video databases, highlighting the need for continued development in database design.

CH-2 – What is a Video – Part-6

Posted on Author Ali Imran

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.
