A METHOD FOR THE ESTIMATION OF SPATIO-TEMPORAL HOMOGENEITY IN VIDEO SEQUENCES

摘要

There is provided a method of encoding video data, comprising estimating the spatio- temporal homogeneity of at least one portion of the video data, providing spatio- temporal homogeneity flags dependent upon the estimated spatio-temporal homogeneity of the at least one portion of the video data, and guiding the encoding process dependent on the spatio-temporal homogeneity flags. There is also provided an apparatus for carrying out the method, and a computer readable product carrying instructions which when executed carry out the method.
