The MoCA Project

-videoDir	path to movie	required
-videoName	name of video file	required
-mdir	root directory for all intermediate and final results default: <videoDir>/measurements/	optional
-from	number of the first frame default: number of the first frame of the video	optional
-to	number of the last frame default: number of last frame of the video	optional
-seggerade	color segmentation: color difference threshold for region growing to the left, right, top and bottom default: 2000	optional
-segdiag	color segmentation: color difference threshold for region growing in corner direction default: 1600	optional
-merge	color segmentation: color distance threshold for region merging default: 1800	optional
-mergeGraOri	on/off switch for color segmentation 0 = don't merge regions by gradient and orientation information 1 = merge regions by gradient and orientation information default: 1	optional
-klassSize	on/off switch 0 = perform no geometry analysis 1 = perform geometry analysis default: 1	optional
-klassKon	on/off switch 0 = perform no contrast analysis 1 = perform contrast analysis default: 1	optional

segment -videoDir /opt/Movies/ForrestGump/ -videoName ForrestGump.mpg -from 1000 -to 1500

As a result four directories will be created containing lots of MoCA images:

/opt/Movies/ForrestGump/measurements/seg
/opt/Movies/ForrestGump/measurements/trc
/opt/Movies/ForrestGump/measurements/bil
/opt/Movies/ForrestGump/measurements/end

They contain images of the following type:

• ../measurements/seg contains the text-segmented images right before motion analysis is applied.
• ../measurements/trc contains the final segmentation result
• the other directories can be ignored.

Before the images can be viewed they must be transformed and saved as JPEG images. Use mocashow to convert the MoCA image to JPEG images:

cd /opt/Movies/ForrestGump/ measurements/trc
mocashow *.trc.moca.gz

NOTE: Besides segment also track and gzip/gunzip must be installed on your system. They are called by segment.
