چکیده

We describe a genetic segmentation algorithm for video. This algorithm operates on segments of a string representation. It is similar to both classical genetic algorithms that operate on bits of a string and genetic grouping algorithms that operate on subsets of a set. For evaluating segmentations, we define similarity adjacency functions, which are extremely expensive to optimize with traditional methods. The evolutionary nature of genetic algorithms offers a further advantage by enabling incremental segmentation. Applications include video summarization and indexing for browsing, plus adapting to user access patterns.

An Optimal Framework for Summarization of Stereoscopic Video Sequences

In this paper an optimal framework for summarization of stereoscopic video sequences is presented, which extracts a meaningful set of video frames. Each sequence is first partitioned into shots, the disparity field, occluded areas and depth map are estimated and then a hierarchical color and depth segmentation scheme is applied to each shot, based on a multiresolution implementation of the RSST...
