Abstract

The rapidly increasing surveillance video data has challenged the existing video coding standards. Even though knowledge based video coding scheme has been proposed to remove redundancy of moving objects across multiple videos and achieved great coding efficiency improvement, it still has difficulties to cope with complicated visual changes of objects resulting from various factors. In this paper, a novel hierarchical knowledge extraction method is proposed. Common knowledge on three coarse-to-fine levels, namely category level, object level and video level, are extracted from history data to model the initial appearance, stable changes and temporal changes respectively for better object representation and redundancy removal. In addition, we apply the extracted hierarchical knowledge to surveillance video coding tasks and establish a hybrid prediction based coding framework. On the one hand, hierarchical knowledge is projected to the image plane to generate reference for I frames to achieve better prediction performance. On the other hand, we develop a transform based prediction for P/B frames to reduce the computational complexity while improve the coding efficiency. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method.
