Patent ID: 8098730

Claim:
A method implemented at least in part by a computing device for generating a motion attention model of a video data sequence, the method comprising: generating, by the computing device, a motion saliency map B to precisely indicate motion attention areas for each frame in the video data sequence, the motion saliency map being based on intensity I, spatial coherence C s , and temporal coherence C t values from each location of a block MB ij , in motion fields extracted from the video data sequence; and accumulating brightness associated with each of the intensity I, the spatial coherence C s , and the temporal coherence C t values of detected motion attention areas to generate, with respect to time, a motion attention model for the video data sequence, wherein: the intensity I values are motion intensity values each represented on a motion intensity map by a brightness associated with each location of the block MB ij ; the spatial coherence C s values are each represented on a spatial coherence map by a brightness associated with each location of the block MB ij ; the temporal coherence C t values are each represented on a temporal coherence map by a brightness associated with each location of the block MB ij ; and a combination is represented on the motion saliency map B by a brightness of the detected motion attention areas associated with each location of the block MB ij .
