A novel moving objects segmentation method is proposed in this paper. A modified three dimensional recursive search （3DRS） algorithm is used in order to obtain motion information accurately. A motion feature descriptor （MFD） is designed to describe motion feature of each block in a picture based on motion intensity, motion in occlusion areas, and motion correlation among neighbouring blocks. Then, a fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm （FCM） is implemented based on those MFDs so as to segment moving objects. Moreover, a new parameter named as gathering degree is used to distinguish foreground moving objects and background motion. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
A novel color compensation method for multi-view video coding (MVC) is proposed, which efficiently exploits the inter-view dependencies between views with the existence of color mismatch caused by the diversity of cameras. A color compensation model is developed in RGB channels and then extended to YCbCr channels for practical use. A modified inter-view reference picture is constructed based on the color compensation model, which is more similar to the coding picture than the original inter-view reference picture. Moreover, the color compensation factors can be derived in both encoder and decoder, therefore no additional data need to be transmitted to the decoder. The experimental results show that the proposed method improves the coding efficiency of MVC and maintains good subjective quality.
