H.264/SVC scene motion analysis

We present a simple and lightweight approach to scene analysis in the H.264/SVC domain. The method is entirely based on the motion vectors found in the compressed stream. Motion segmentation and object detection is performed after the estimation of the camera motion. Important object properties are calculated, which are used for object matching and trajectory estimation. The relative distance to the camera is estimated, resulting in a pseudo 3-D representation of the object trajectories.
