Quadtree-Structured Linear Prediction Models for Image Sequence Processing
July 1989 (vol. 11 no. 7)
pp. 742-748

A summary is presented of a study on two-dimensional linear prediction models for image sequence processing and its application to change detection and scene coding. The study focused on two-dimensional joint process modeling of interframe relationships, the derivation of computationally efficient matching algorithms, and the implementation of a block-adaptive interframe predictor for use in interframe predictive coding and change detection. In the approach presented, the spatial nonstationarity is handled by an underlying quadtree segmentation structure. A maximum-likelihood criterion and a simpler minimum-variance criterion are discussed as detection and segmentation rules. The results of this research indicate that a constrained joint process model involving only a single gain parameter and a shift parameter is the best tradeoff between performance and computational complexity.
