VIDEO PROCESSING APPARATUS, VIDEO PROCESSING METHOD AND PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18271903 titled 'VIDEO PROCESSING APPARATUS, VIDEO PROCESSING METHOD AND PROGRAM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a video processing device that can accurately determine whether a pixel in an image is part of the foreground or background, and correct any errors in this determination caused by color changes.
- Foreground region estimation unit: Determines if a pixel is foreground or background.
- Blinking correction unit: Corrects errors in determining foreground or background caused by color changes.
- Lookup table: Helps determine if a color change is in the foreground or background based on temporal changes in pixel values.
Potential Applications
This technology could be used in video editing software to improve the accuracy of foreground/background separation, leading to better editing capabilities and special effects.
Problems Solved
This technology addresses the issue of inaccurate foreground/background detection in video processing, which can lead to errors in editing and special effects.
Benefits
The device improves the accuracy of determining foreground and background in video processing, leading to better quality editing and special effects.
Potential Commercial Applications
This technology could be valuable in the film industry for post-production editing, as well as in the development of video editing software for consumers.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be existing video processing algorithms that attempt to separate foreground and background, but may not have the same level of accuracy as the device described in the patent application.
Unanswered Questions
How does the device handle complex scenes with multiple moving objects?
The patent application does not specify how the device handles complex scenes with multiple moving objects, which could impact its effectiveness in real-world applications.
What is the computational cost of implementing this technology?
The patent application does not provide information on the computational cost of implementing this technology, which could be a factor in its adoption and use in various applications.
Original Abstract Submitted
A video processing device includes a foreground region estimation unit that determines whether a pixel of an input image is a foreground or a background, and a blinking correction unit that determines, for a target pixel on which a foreground and a background have been switched, whether switching between the foreground and the background is a color change in the foreground or in the background by using a lookup table capable of determining whether switching is in the foreground or in the background from a temporal change of a pixel value, and corrects a result of determination as to whether it is the foreground or the background that has been performed for the target pixel in a case where the switching between the foreground and the background is the color change in the foreground or in the background.
