Abstract
Detecting a static graphic object (such as a logo, title, or sub-title) in a sequence of video frames may be accomplished by analyzing each selected one of a plurality of pixels in a video frame of the sequence of video frames. Basic conditions for the selected pixel may be tested to determine whether the selected pixel is a static pixel. When the selected pixel is a static pixel, a static similarity measure and a forward motion similarity measure may be determined for the selected pixel. A temporal score for the selected pixel may be determined based at least in part on the similarity measures. Finally, a static graphic object decision for the selected pixel may be made based at least in part on the temporal score.
