Abstract

The present invention relates to an image processing device and a method of framing changes and movements in a video image divided into N×N blocks of pixel positions. The method comprises calculating a first bitmap of the video image by a DCT transform on each of the N×N blocks of pixel positions, assigning a first binary value to the pixel positions of the N×N blocks when more than an amount of change, and a second binary value to the pixel positions of the N×N blocks when less than an amount of change. Calculating a third bitmap by an OR operation between a number of bitmaps representing past time frames of the video image, calculating a fourth bitmap by performing a dilation process of the third bitmap representing the current time frame of the video image, and creating one or more frames identifying area of changes and movements in the video image based on detecting BLOBs (Binary Large Objects) in the fourth bitmaps.
