Video processing (1)

OVAL :Video Access Library C++ Video Object Model Accepts plugin for specific formats

MPEG-1 : Dali from Cornell LibDV, « XML » video plugin

Provides a generic API

Open, Close, GetProp stream GetFrame(s) Specific (MPEG: getMV, getDCT)

Do not accomodate Image Processing functionalities

Use of Matlab Mex with persistent memory

Video Processing (2)

Video segmentation

Classical techniques Based on spatio-temporal features (ongoing)

Mixed colour/motion information

Need to be extended to event-based segmentation

Integration of M4 features

Video characterisation

Estimation on feature pattern model (motion) Support Vector Regression

Non-linear Prediction of Chaotic Times Series using SVM, NNSP’97 (Mukherjee, Osuna, Girosi) Predicting Time Series with SVM, ICANN’97 (Muller, Smola, Schölkopf, Vapnik)

Video Similarity Measure

Problems: S(V1 , V1) ≠ 0 S(V1 , V2) ≠ S(V2 , V1) Artificial symetrization D (V1 , V2) = 0.5*[S(V1 , V2) + S(V2 , V1) ]

Video Classification

Distance matrix computed with prediction error D(Vi , Vj )

For all pair of video <i,j> in the given database

Di,j = D(Vi , Vj )

Curvilinear Component Analysis is applied on D

⇒ gives a 2-dimensionnal mapping of the feature space

Ongoing…

Text retrieval

Inclusion within GIFT Multimodal embedding (visual+text query) Query expansion (eg using WordNet)

Event characterisation

High level model Feature-based inference ⇒Characterisation of well-known events ⇒Suitable for restricted contexts (M4)

Information management

MRML : Going toward version 2.0

More multimedia More like an XML protocol (as defined by W3C - XMLP) Trully multimedia / multimodal ⇒ Spec proposal release mid-Feb ⇒ Expected validation software: this summer

DEVA (Annotation model)

Based on RDF and Dublin Core (XML) DAML+OIL (OWL) compatible Makes existing software available (Xerces, Jena,…) Allows multiple extensions (WordNet,…)

WP3: Issues

Visual data is not usable alone

Need for text transcitps Use of « external » data

Need for common format for data exchange

Annotation (explicit) Processing results

Increase collaboration

Integration
