| This paper shows that the concept of merging
several views of a non-changing scene-background into a single
background sprite is not necessarily the most efficient way to
transmit the background image. We have found that the
counter-intuitive approach of splitting the background into
several independent parts can reduce the overall amount of data.
For this reason, we propose an algorithm that provides an optimal
partitioning of a video sequence into independent background
sprites, resulting in the minimum coding cost. Moreover, our
algorithm results in background sprites with better quality by
ensuring that the sprite resolution has at least the final
display resolution throughout the sequence.best paper award |
