Silhouette encoding and synthesis using elliptic Fourier descriptors and applications to videoconferencing, Journal of Visual Language and Computing
This paper investigates the use of elliptic Fourier descriptors as a shape descriptor for
encoding the silhouette of a person. Shape descriptors are here used for predicting the shape of
silhouettes in missing frames within a sequence. This prediction scheme is applied to the case
of generating in-between images in a low frame rate videoconferencing system, where the
reconstructed silhouette is used as a binary mask for reducing the computational time for the
frame reconstruction
