Video parsing and indexing is an important early stage of content-based video analysis. In this paper, we present a new web-enabled video indexing system that integrates Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL) standard. New algorithms are ...

In this paper, we propose an ontology-based approach for analyzing social interaction patterns in a nursing home from video. Social interaction patterns are broken into individual activities and behavior events using a multi-level context hierarchy ...

Sports video is regarded as a good testing bed for techniques on content based video analysis and processing. Although partially successful systems have been designed for specific sports domains with limited data, most previous works do not adequately ...

In this paper, we present a new three-dimensional object retrieval method. This method employs depth buffers for representing and comparing the objects. Specifically, multiple depth buffers per object (computed from different points of view) are ...

Digital video networks are making available increasing amounts of sports video data. The volume of material on offer means that sports fans often rely on prepared summaries of game highlights to follow the progress of their favourite teams. A ...

Most existing systems detect events in broadcast team sports video using only internal audio-visual (AV) features with limited success. We found that there are many widely available external knowledge sources - such as match reports and real-time game ...

The rapid development of web image search engines has enabled users to search hundred million of images available on the Web. However, due to the unsatisfactory performance of current search technologies, people still need to spend much time in ...

Along with images and videos, 3D models have recently gained increasing attention for a number of reasons: advancements in 3D hardware and software technologies, their ever decreasing prices and increasing availability, affordable 3D authoring tools, ...

In this paper, we present an index structure-based method to fast and robustly search short video clips in large video collections. First we temporally segment a given long video stream into overlapped matching windows, then map extracted features from ...

The fast evolution of the digital video technology has opened new areas of research. The most important aspect will be to develop algorithms to perform video cataloguing, indexing and retrieval. The basic step is to find a way for video abstraction, as ...
