文摘

An ultra-low complexity three-dimensional (3-D) linear-phase infinite-extent impulse response (IIR) velocity filter is proposed for attenuating moving artifacts in videos while enhancing objects moving on smooth approximately-linear trajectories. The proposed 3-D linear-phase IIR velocity filter consists of an ultra-low complexity 3-D wide-angle linear-phase IIR cone filter bank between two two-dimensional (2-D) spatial variable-shift filters. The ultra-low complexity 3-D wide-angle linear-phase IIR cone filter bank consists of a one-dimensional (1-D) temporal modified discrete Fourier transform filter bank and 2-D spatial allpass, IIR highpass and allstop filters. A typical 3-D linear-phase IIR velocity filter of order \(4\times 4\times 510\), applied to enhance a heavily corrupted test video signal, requires only 26 real multiplications and 60 real additions to process a sample and provides a scene-complexity-independent signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio improvement of 13.86 dB. The proposed 3-D linear-phase IIR velocity filter is employed to attenuate sunlight flicker patterns in shallow underwater videos, and experimental results are presented to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method and its robustness to motion estimation errors.
