Abstract

Object-based video representation plays an important role in remote patient monitoring built on video coding and Internet transmission. This paper introduces an object-based video representation method using two novel change detection techniques, and presents a demo system built upon ConferenceXP, where three types of video objects are constructed by exploiting the features in patient monitoring video. Our experimental results based on real-world data have shown that these techniques provide better foreground and background separation, higher coding efficiency, and improved performance in remote patient monitoring
