By now, you should have been familiar with video acquisition and the basic processing of frames in MATLAB. In this chapter, we will discuss video processing in a little more depth, starting with basic frame manipulations based on the techniques already discussed for still images. Then, we will proceed with describing techniques for intra-frame and inter-frame processing. In this direction, we will demonstrate and analyze some basic methods for video deinterlacing and spatiotemporal filtering. These techniques will be implemented in MATLAB and evaluated with real-life examples. Extra hands-on exercises will be presented so that you can better comprehend the usage of the methods.
In this chapter, we will cover:
How to perform some basic video processing tasks in MATLAB, for example, cropping and resizing
How to deinterlace our videos in MATLAB using various methods
How to apply spatiotemporal filtering to our videos
So, let's start processing!
