Development of Mosaic Algorithm for Mosaic-video Creation using Modified Strip Search Algorithm

Abstract

Creating Mosaic-video is still a relatively new pursuit. It is also useful inside virtual reality environments, computer game settings, movie special effects and region of interest tracking. Immersive teleconferencing is another application that is being developed using mosaic-video. Many mosaic-video creation techniques are proposed by the researchers but most of them are based on the multiple cameras. We developed it with the use of single moving camera by incorporating simple and efficient steps. Initially a strip search algorithm is modified for mosaic creation with high sensitivity and linearity followed by video background extraction and then mosaic-video frames are created with merging the required dynamic motions from all the frames to mosaic backgrounds. This method handles major problem of non-redundant information retrieval and visualization along large view with respective to the video of tracking camera.
