APPARATUS AND METHOD EMPLOYING PRE-ATR-BASED REAL-TIME COMPRESSION AND VIDEO FRAME SEGMENTATION

摘要

One subject of this invention is region of interest (ROI) method, or Frame Segmentation Method that can be provided within a video stream, in real-time This video frame segmentation is the basis of Pre-ATR-based UltraReal-Time (PATURT) video compression Still other subjects of this invention are morphing compression, and watermarking, also based on the PATURT The applications of the PATURT innovation include ROI-based real-time video recording that has special applications for aircraft pilot/cockpit video recording in "black-box" devices, recording aircraft accidents, or catastrophes In this invention, they also have the capability of reporting the last cockpit events up to 0.5 seconds before an accident, including all cockpit sensor readings, as well as pilots' behavior, the latter with fully scrambled and non-recoverable facial information
