Abstract

For the transmission of aerial surveillance videos taken from unmanned aerial vehicles, region-of-interest-based coding systems are of growing interest in order to cope with the limited channel capacities available. We present a fully automatic detection and coding system that is capable of transmitting HD-resolution aerial videos at bit rates below 1 Mbit/s. In order to achieve this goal, we extend the video coder HEVC by affine global motion compensation. Results of the computer vision algorithms control the extended HEVC encoder. For detection of moving objects, we analyze the video and compare a motion-compensated previous image with the current image. Image segmentation based on superpixels helps to select entire moving objects. In order to achieve low false-positive rates and low data rates, we use different motion-compensation algorithms for video analysis and video coding. Depending on the size of the moving objects on the ground, we can save up to 90 % of the data rate of regular HEVC without loss of image quality and the additional benefit of providing a mosaic of the video with moving objects.
