ABSTRACT:
Sprite identification in animated sequences is achieved by performing three separate but related procedures, namely (i) identification of the sprite, (ii) identification of the background and (iii) identification of the identified sprite's translation path. By analyzing a sequence of frames, sprite definition is first established. Then, using the definition of the sprite, a determination is made of the background image and translation path taken. This analysis allows the animated sequence to be compressed in a format in which the background and the sprites are separately identified.
