There has been a huge increase in the utilization of video as one of the most preferred type of media due to its content richness for many significant applications including sports. To sustain an ongoing rapid growth of sports video, there is an emerging demand for a sophisticated content-based indexing system. Users recall video contents in a high-level abstraction while video is generally sto...

Systems for multimedia retrieval have been object of scientific research for many years. When it comes to present results to the user many solutions disregard the set of problems connected to content delivery. Especially time-constrained results of video retrieval systems need a different visualization. In this paper we present our solution for hierarchical content browsing of video files. Our ...

We have developed a rapid prototyping environment for Multimedia applications. The design environment is based on e cient hardware and software reuse, abstraction, design parameterization, and automation. The design methodology maintains a exible boundary between hardware and software by eliminating hardware fabrication from the design loop. A reusable Hardware/Software library for video compre...

When recording a classroom lecture, it is useful to capture the writing on the board for processing by applications. To provide more useful information for applications, we group together strokes based on the meaning of the writing. However, it is currently not possible to automatically obtain general semantic information from a video. Instead we rely on the structure of writing to approximate ...

A hierarchical organising model based-on MPEG-7 is introduced to effectively represent high-level and low-level information in soccer video. To effectively retrieve highlight clip of soccer video, adaptive abstraction is designed based on the excitement time curve, and an XML-based query scheme for semantic search and retrieval is proposed based on the hierarchical model. For retrieval, XQuery,...
