Automatic Video Pause Detection Filter

چکیده
Increasing interest in multimedia research has been drawn upon the development of video indexing and content-based image retrieval techniques. In this report, we proposed several pause detection algorithms, which instead of searching for signi cant visual transitions, the algorithms detect signi cant pauses in video streams. A realization of the algorithmswas implemented using ImageTcl toolkit developed at Dartmouth Experimental Visualization Laboratory. In addition to proposing and studying the e ectiveness of the pause detection algorithms, another major goal will be to incorporate our algorithms into ImageTcl and test the stability and applicability of the ImageTcl environment. Priliminary experiments showed relatively good results of our pause detection algorithms.

Fire detection using video sequences in urban out-door environment
Nowadays automated early warning systems are essential in human life. One of these systems is fire detection which plays an important role in surveillance and security systems because the fire can spread quickly and cause great damage to an area. Traditional fire detection methods usually are based on smoke and temperature detectors (sensors). These methods cannot work properly in large space a...
متن کاملVideo-based Automatic Target Recognition
We present an approach for vehicle classification in IR video sequences by integrating detection, tracking and recognition. The method has two steps. First, the moving target is automatically detected using a detection algorithm. Next, we perform simultaneous tracking and recognition using an appearance-model based particle filter. The tracking result is evaluated at each frame. Low confidence ...
