Abstract

MPEG-2 compressed domain information, namely motion vectors and DCT coefficients, is filtered and manipulated to obtain a motion field using a two-dimensional (2-D) translational model. The results are compared to a popular optical flow method, more specifically the one presented by Lucas and Kanade (1981), revealing very good results. Our method provides a very fast motion estimation tool that can be useful for applications where algorithmic cost is critical, such as surveillance systems. All methods are theoretically explained and their efficiency confirmed on real-world data.
