Video Johnson-like criterion for moving vehicle identification

A wavelet, being a bank of matched filters at a constant fidelity, is appro priate for low bandwidth video communication-compression and is also propos ed here to test the video contrast sensitivity surface. This generalization permits us to evaluate the trade-off between the spatial redundancy verses temporal redundancy reductions. This paper addresses the relationship betw een very low bandwidth video compression and human perception for target di scrimination using video. (C) 1998 SPIE and IS&T. [S1017-9909(98)01104-0].
