A Video Abstraction Method Based on Viewer's Heart Activity and its Evaluations

Video Subject Inpainting: A Posture-Based Method

Despite recent advances in video inpainting techniques, reconstructing large missing regions of a moving subject while its scale changes remains an elusive goal. In this paper, we have introduced a scale-change invariant method for large missing regions to tackle this problem. Using this framework, first the moving foreground is separated from the background and its scale is equalized. Then, a ...

Video classification and recommendation based on affective analysis of viewers

Most previous works on video classification and recommendation were only based on video contents, without considering the affective analysis of viewers. In this paper, we presented a novel method to classify and recommend videos based on affective analysis, mainly on facial expression recognition of viewers, by fusing the spatio–temporal features. For spatial features, we integrate Haar-like fe...

task-based language teaching in iran: a mixed study through constructing and validating a new questionnaire based on theoretical, sociocultural, and educational frameworks

جنبه های گوناگونی از زندگی در ایران را از جمله سبک زندگی، علم و امکانات فنی و تکنولوژیکی می توان کم یا بیش وارداتی در نظر گرفت. زبان انگلیسی و روش تدریس آن نیز از این قاعده مثتسنی نیست. با این حال گاهی سوال پیش می آید که آیا یک روش خاص با زیر ساخت های نظری، فرهنگی اجتماعی و آموزشی جامعه ایرانی سازگاری دارد یا خیر. این تحقیق بر اساس روش های ترکیبی انجام شده است.پرسش نامه ای نیز برای زبان آموزان ...

Content-based Video Abstraction

This paper addresses automatic scene change detection, key-frame selection, and similarity ranking which constitute the main steps of a content-based video abstraction system. Unlike other methods, the proposed algorithm performs scene change detection and key-frame selection in one step. We treat scene change detection as a two-class classiication problem and employ automatic threshold selecti...
