چکیده

We describe the methodology, design considerations and practical implementation of an environment used in developing and testing video-based, multiview computer vision algorithms. The environment we have built is composed by a variety of heterogeneous hardware devices for acquisition and display, connected together into a coherent system by object-oriented software components. Much attention has been paid into the development of a Vision-Device Abstraction Layer (VDAL) that handles the operation of hardware image acquisition devices. The software components are divided into User Interface and Low-Level computer vision constituents. These are combined into more complex entities, Modules, that perform a complete computer vision process. Our environment is capable of providing output on disk, in real-time on common monitors, but can also take advantage of large stereo displays. It is designed with modularity, extensibility and reusability in mind. The main contribution of this paper is to describe the setup and efficient implementation of a coherent environment for video-based multiview applications and algorithms’ development. We provide our experience of how a variety of different hardware and software has been glued together to form the basis of our computer vision processing environment.

Multi-view Video Based Object Segmentation - A Tutorial

Video based object segmentation (VBOS) is an important step in many computer vision and multimedia tasks such as video editing and compositing. In recent years, multi-view VBOS systems have become more and more popular because the stereo clues from multiview data can be efficiently incorporated to improve the segmentation results and eliminate the required initial user input. In this paper, we ...

Action Change Detection in Video Based on HOG

Background and Objectives: Action recognition, as the processes of labeling an unknown action of a query video, is a challenging problem, due to the event complexity, variations in imaging conditions, and intra- and inter-individual action-variability. A number of solutions proposed to solve action recognition problem. Many of these frameworks suppose that each video sequence includes only one ...

Multiview Hessian discriminative sparse coding for image annotation

Sparse coding represents a signal sparsely by using an overcomplete dictionary, and obtains promising performance in practical computer vision applications, especially for signal restoration tasks such as image denoising and image inpainting. In recent years, many discriminative sparse coding algorithms have been developed for classification problems, but they cannot naturally handle visual dat...
