摘要
A technique for implicitly encoding shape information by using a chroma-key color. A bounding box is created enclosing the video object. The bounding box is extended to be of size of next integer multiple of macroblock size and divided into a plurality of macroblocks. For each boundary macroblock, each pixel outside the object is replaced with the chroma-key color to implicitly encode shape information. Pixel data for boundary macroblocks and macroblocks inside the object are DCT transformed, scaled and motion compensated. A finer quantizer (smaller quantizer) is used for boundary macroblocks to improve image quality. A first_shape_code can be used to identify each macroblock as either 1) inside the object; 2) outside the object; or 3) on the object boundary. To improve data compression and achieve low complexity shape extraction with DCT and motion compensation, a first_shape_code is sent for all macroblocks, and only macroblocks that are inside the object or on the object boundary are coded. The decoding system decodes the first_shape_code and, if necessary, the DCT and motion compensation information. The motion compensated luminance and chrominance pixel values of a reconstructed object at the decoding system are compared to the chroma-key color and thresholds to reconstruct the shape of the object, and to output texture information of the video object.
