چکیده

Achieving high effectiveness in Shot Boundary Detection (SBD) paves the way for high-level analysis of the video (keyframe extraction, story segmentation, etc.), which makes this step very important. Thus, the SBD problem has been extensively addressed, and many approaches have been proposed. As these approaches have their own different strengths and weaknesses, merging the outcomes of different detectors in order to obtain a better detector comes naturally. In this paper we propose an approach to SBD which takes into account the outcomes of two shot boundary detectors, using a rank fusion technique. This new detector is tested with videos from the TRECVid initiative, finding that it outperforms the two original methods. Moreover, the computation of this merging method is very fast, so it is very attractive for an operational environment.

Abrupt Shot Boundary Detection from Video Sequence Using Motion Direction Histogram Feature

We propose the motion direction histogram (MDH) as a new feature for abrupt shot boundary detection in video sequences. Conventional methods for abrupt shot boundary detection use a threshold difference as a measure of the feature values between consecutive images. It is difficult for such conventional methods t o detect shot boundaries in "busy" scenes, in which intensities change substantiall...

Modeling Relative Effectiveness to Leverage Multiple Ranking Algorithms

In this work, we focus on modeling relative effectiveness of result sets to leverage multiple ranking algorithms. We use a relative effectiveness estimation technique (ReEff) that directly predicts the difference in effectiveness between a baseline ranking algorithm and other alternative ranking algorithms by using aggregates of ranker scores and retrieval features. Our ranker selection experim...

Shot Boundary Detection Based on SVM Optimization Model

Categorizing the consecutive video frames into shots is the first step for content-based video retrieval. Recently, more and more research has made use of support vector machine to improve the performance of shot boundary detection. However, there has not been a uniform standard for selecting parameters of support vector machine kernel so that it relies on numerous experiences to try, which is ...

Detection of abl/bcr Fusion Gene in Patients Affected by Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia by Dual-Colour Interphase Fluorescence in situ Hybridisation

Conventional cytogenetic is the standard technique for detection of Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Evaluation of abelson murine leukemia/breakpoint cluster region (abl/bcr) fusion using dual-colour fluorescence in situ hybridization (D-FISH) is an alternative approach allowing rapid and reliable detection of the disease. We employed the technique of interphase D...

Automatic Video Segmentation and Indexing

Indexing is an important aspect of video database management. Video indexing involves the analysis of video sequences, which is a computationally intensive process. However, effective management of digital video requires robust indexing techniques. The main purpose of our proposed video segmentation is twofold. Firstly, we develop an algorithm that identifies camera shot boundary The approach i...
