Compressed-Domain Video Retargeting.
In this paper, we present a compressed-domain video retargeting solution that operates without compromising the resizing quality. Existing video retargeting methods operate in the spatial (or pixel) domain. Such a solution is not practical if it is implemented in mobile devices due to its large memory requirement. In the proposed solution, each component of the retargeting system is designed to exploit the low-level compressed domain features extracted from the coded bit stream. For example, motion information is obtained directly from motion vectors. An efficient column shape mesh deformation is employed to solve the difficulty of sophisticated quad-shape mesh deformation in the compressed domain. The proposed solution achieves comparable (or slightly better) visual quality performance as compared with several state-of-the-art pixel-domain retargeting methods at lower computational and memory costs, making content-aware video resizing both scalable and practical in real-world applications.
