Abstract:
In the field of video content analysis, object detection is a crucial task. The High Efficient Video Coding (H.265, HEVC) standard’s coding structures are strongly correlated with the video content, creating an opportunity to utilize these structures for video object detection in a computationally efficient way. To address this, we present a video object detection method that partitions frames into macroblocks based on the H.265 structure. Blocks with spatially high-frequency content go through a dynamic-layer approach that subjects them to deeper analysis with more layers, while blocks with spatially low-frequency content undergo fewer layers to enable a lower computational load. Results on ImageNet-Vid Dataset indicate that our approach has the potential to save significant computational resources while maintaining accurate object detection performance.
