Interactive video with spatial and temporal multiresolution

Abstract

We have developed an efficient method for interactive multiresolution video. We present a new representation for interactive video that allows for varying spatial and temporal resolutions in any part of a video sequence. While conventional interactive video has mainly concentrated on interactive story telling or scenario, our representation allows the viewer to interactively control the spatial and temporal resolution at real-time. As shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8, it can be used to implement a sports entertainment and/or training program, a scientific simulation, or a complicated virtual reality game. © 1997 IEEE.
