Purpose: To develop a system for assisting the analysis of capsuleendoscopy (CE) video data and identifying sequences of frames related to small intestine motility. Material and Methods: Six videos were analyzed and labelled manually by an expert, indicating the events of contractions. For addressing the imbalanced recognition task of small intestinal contractions we employed an efficient two-l...

This paper presents a guideline to distinguish and analyze competencies for a target-oriented continuous improvement (CI) process. Participants from industry are filmed while solving a CI-related problem in the learning factory situated in Darmstadt. In order to analyze and translate the filmed actions into competencies a video analysis guideline is developed which consists of a generic CI-rela...

The aim of this paper is to present a procedure for video analysis applied in an innovative way to diving performance assessment. Sport performance analysis is a trend that is growing exponentially for all level athletes. The technique here shown is based on two important requirements: flexibility and low cost. These two requirements lead to many problems in the video processing that have been ...

The role of dreaming in childhood and in adulthood are still equally enigmatic fields yet to be fully explored. However, while there is a consensus at least about the typical content and formal characteristics of adult dream reports, these features are still a matter of debate in the case of young children. Longitudinal developmental laboratory studies concluded that preschoolers' dreams usuall...

Underwater video is being increasingly used to assess the impact of human activities in marine habitats, as a complementary tool for the assessment of commercial stocks. But, analysing video images manually to study and evaluate marine habitats is a lengthy and tedious task. This paper proposes an automatic method to detect the Norway lobster (Nephrops Norvegicus) an important east-Atlantic and...

Person re-identification consists of recognising a person appearing in different video sequences, using an image as a query. We propose a general approach to extend appearance-based re-identification systems, enabling also textual queries describing clothing appearance (e.g., “person wearing a white shirt and checked blue shorts”). This functionality can be useful, e.g., in forensic video analy...
