Sensors, Vol. 18, Pages 2312: Amplitude-Based Filtering for Video Magnification in Presence of Large Motion Sensors doi: 10.3390/s18072312 Authors: Xiu Wu Xuezhi Yang Jing Jin Zhao Yang Video magnification reveals important and informative subtle variations in the world. These signals are often combined with large motions which result in significant blurring artifacts and haloes when conventional video magnification approaches are used. To counter these issues, this paper presents an amplitude-based filtering algorithm that can magnify small changes in video in presence of large motions. We seek to understand the amplitude characteristic of small changes and large motions with the goal of extracting accurate signals for visualization. Based on spectrum amplitude filtering, the large motions can be removed while small changes can still be magnified by Eulerian approach. An advantage of this algorithm is that it can handle large motions, whether they are linear or nonlinear. Our experimental results show that the proposed method can amplify subtle variations in the presence of large motion, as well as significantly reduce artifacts. We demonstrate the presented algorithm by comparing to the state-of-the-art and provide subjective and objective evidence for the proposed method.
