چکیده

Visual lifelogging is a new concept of recording one’s daily life by using wearable camera to automatically capture images of one’s surroundings. Keyframe selection is a crucial process for summarizing lifelog image sequences. In the visual lifelog domain, images are passively captured in predefined time intervals, e.g. one image every 30 seconds. This results in variable visual quality in the image sequences. Contrary to videos, two consecutive frames are not necessarily similar in lifelog sequences. Thus, video processing techniques are not directly applicable. We propose a keyframe selection technique based on measuring image quality and distance to the middle frame. Based on the proposed evaluation framework, 81.6 % of keyframes selected by our approach are accepted, whereas only 70.4 % are accepted when using the middle frames as keyframes. Additionally, Ground Truth (GT) keyframes are investigated in terms of image quality and the position in time relative to their events. This provides information about their distributions and explain the results.

Keyframe selection for robust pose estimation in laparoscopic videos

Motion estimation based on point correspondences in two views is a classic problem in computer vision. In the field of laparoscopic video sequences even with state of the art algorithms a stable motion estimation can not be guaranteed generally. Typically, a video from a laparoscopic surgery contains sequences where the surgeon barely moves the endoscope. Such restricted movement causes a small...

Repeated Event Discovery from Image Sequences by Using Segmental Dynamic Time Warping: Experiment at the NTCIR-12 Lifelog Task

In this paper, we report on examining in applying of Spoken Term Discovery (STD) to lifelog images. STD is an approach to discover words which repeated in multiple speeches. We used an approach based on Dynamic Time Warping to discover patterns which are repeated in lifelog images. If this approach gives meaningful patterns, the results will be helpful information for lifelog researches (e.g. s...

Fast Adaptive Frame Preprocessing for 3D Reconstruction

Abstract: This paper presents a new online preprocessing strategy to detect and discard ongoing bad frames in video sequences. These include frames where an accurate localization between corresponding points is difficult, such as for blurred frames, or which do not provide relevant information with respect to the previous frames in terms of texture, image contrast and non-flat areas. Unlike key...

Wavelet based Keyframe Extraction Method from Motion Capture Data

This research extracts keyframes from Motion capture data. Accurate selection of keyframes is a key point in motion synthesizing, editing, retargeting and motion data compression. Our method firstly represents every joint curve with a simple numeric sequence based on wavelet transformation. Then the correlation between curves is calculated based on these numeric sequences. Several curves which ...
