Computer Science Research
Model Based Visual Communications
The concept behind model-based video coding (video compression) is that
models of 3D objects require less information to transmit than images
of those objects. A model-based video coding system uses models of the
3D objects appearing in a video. Values for the parameters of these models
and estimates of the 3D motion of modeled objects are obtained by analyzing
the video. These parameter values and motion estimates are transmitted
and a video display of the modeled objects and their motion is synthesized
using 3D computer graphics.
