This memo describes an RTP payload format for the video coding standard ITU-T Recommendation H.265 and ISO/IEC International Standard 23008-2, both also known as High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) and developed by the Joint Collaborative Team on Video Coding (JCT-VC). The RTP payload format allows for packetization of one or more Network Abstraction Layer (NAL) units in each RTP packet payload...

There is already a huge demand for efficient image indexing and content-based retrieval. With TV going digital, advances in real-time video decompression, easy access to the Internet and the availability of cheap mass storage and fast graphics adaptor cards, digital video will become the next “big” media. Unfortunately, automatic indexing and feature extraction from digital video is even harder...

In this paper, we present major issues in video parsing, abstraction, retrieval and semantic analysis. We discuss the success, the difficulties and the expectations in these areas. In addition, we identify important opened problems that can lead to more sophisticated ways of video content analysis. For video parsing, we discuss topics in video partitioning, motion characterization and object se...

Video-to-video linking systems allow users to explore and exploit the content of a large-scale multimedia collection interactively and without the need to formulate specific queries. We present a short introduction to video-to-video linking (also called ‘video hyperlinking’), and describe the latest edition of the Video Hyperlinking (LNK) task at TRECVid 2016. The emphasis of the LNK task in 20...

In this paper, a review of certain basic information extraction operations that can be performed on video is presented. These operations are those that are particularly useful as a foundation for further semantic processing. Specifically, the review focuses on shot boundary detection and condensed video representation (also called summarization and abstraction). Shot boundary detection is the c...

Video has become an essential component of multimedia applications nowadays. To support multimedia and video applications ef-ciently, video objects must be modeled and structured in secondary storage eeectively, allowing exible, easy, and eecient retrieval. Existing video database systems are quite ad hoc, each being designed for a spe-ciic kind of application. In this paper, we illustrate that...

* This work was funded by the National Program “YPER” by the General Secretariat of Research & Development of Greece entitled “Efficient Content-Based Image and Video Query and Retrieval in Multimedia Systems” ABSTRACT In this paper, a system for content-based image retrieval from video databases is introduced, using B-splines for affine invariant object representation. A small number of “keyfr...

In this paper we discuss the intelligent or smart camera based systems for capturing visual contextual information at multiple levels of information abstraction. A distributed video array, with multiple omnidirectional and rectilinear cameras, is used to acquire visual information. System architecture as well as 3D tracking and human identification modules are described. Examples of the use of ...

We present in this paper an approach to mimic the excitement that is evoked in a user while watching a video. The proposed approach is meant to enhance user’s comfort when dealing with large amount of broadcasted digital television data reaching his home. For this reason, we deliberately avoid using any sensors placed on users: the simulation of user excitement is based here solely on cues that...

This memo describes an RTP payload format for scalable video coding (SVC) defined in_Annex G of the ITU-T Recommendation H.264 video codec which is technically identical to Amendment 3 of ISO/IEC International Standard 14496-10. The RTP payload format allows for Wenger, Wang, Schierl Expires August 24, 2008 [Page 1] Internet-Draft RTP Payload Format for SVC Video February 2008 packetization of ...
