Chapter 6. Conclusions and Future Works
6.4 Real-time wavelet-based video compression approach for video surveillance .169
In this study, we have presented a new real-time wavelet-based video compression method for use in intelligent video surveillance systems. Based on the low-complexity and low-memory-cost wavelet-based coding scheme and motion compression strategy, the proposed video codec achieves high vision quality, high compression speed and high compression ratio. Experimental results on video compression performance demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed video codec. Then the ActiveX COM component technique is also implemented and integrated with the proposed video codec to realize multimedia, internet applications and many other video-intensive applications. Furthermore, an intelligent surveillance system, which integrates the proposed wavelet-based video codec, computer peripherals and mobile communication, is also developed in this study. Therefore, the future e-Home with controlled home electronics, managed video/audio systems and home security will be realized.
For the purpose of enhance the functions of the proposed video surveillance study, our future works should focus on: (1) develop and integrate the object detection, classification, recognition, and tracking techniques. (2) To achieve more effectively content-based coding of the surveillance video frames, an efficient region-of-interest ROI coding techniques is necessary for adopting on interesting objects, such as human beings for home security applications, and target vehicles for traffic surveillance applications.
