Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
In this paper, we address the problem of the efficient encoding of object boundaries. This problem is becoming increasingly important in applications such as content-based storage and retrieval, studies and television postproduction, and mobile multimedia applications. The MPEG-4 visual standard will allow the transmission of arbitrarily shaped video objects. The techniques developed for shape coding within the MPEG-4 standardization effort are described and compared first. A framework for the representation of shapes using their contours is presented next. Such representations are achieved using curves of various orders, and they are optimal in the rate-distortion sense. Last, conclusions are drawn.
