e-Counterfeit: a mobile-server platform for document counterfeit detection
This paper presents a novel application to detect counterfeit identity
documents forged by a scan-printing operation. Texture analysis approaches are
proposed to extract validation features from security background that is
usually printed in documents as IDs or banknotes. The main contribution of this
work is the end-to-end mobile-server architecture, which provides a service for
non-expert users and therefore can be used in several scenarios. The system
also provides a crowdsourcing mode so labeled images can be gathered,
generating databases for incremental training of the algorithms.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figure
Contextual cropping and scaling of TV productions
This is the author's accepted manuscript. The final publication is available at Springer via http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11042-011-0804-3. Copyright @ Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2011.In this paper, an application is presented which automatically adapts SDTV (Standard Definition Television) sports productions to smaller displays through intelligent cropping and scaling. It crops regions of interest of sports productions based on a smart combination of production metadata and systematic video analysis methods. This approach allows a context-based composition of cropped images. It provides a differentiation between the original SD version of the production and the processed one adapted to the requirements for mobile TV. The system has been comprehensively evaluated by comparing the outcome of the proposed method with manually and statically cropped versions, as well as with non-cropped versions. Envisaged is the integration of the tool in post-production and live workflows
Learning to Detect Violent Videos using Convolutional Long Short-Term Memory
Developing a technique for the automatic analysis of surveillance videos in
order to identify the presence of violence is of broad interest. In this work,
we propose a deep neural network for the purpose of recognizing violent videos.
A convolutional neural network is used to extract frame level features from a
video. The frame level features are then aggregated using a variant of the long
short term memory that uses convolutional gates. The convolutional neural
network along with the convolutional long short term memory is capable of
capturing localized spatio-temporal features which enables the analysis of
local motion taking place in the video. We also propose to use adjacent frame
differences as the input to the model thereby forcing it to encode the changes
occurring in the video. The performance of the proposed feature extraction
pipeline is evaluated on three standard benchmark datasets in terms of
recognition accuracy. Comparison of the results obtained with the state of the
art techniques revealed the promising capability of the proposed method in
recognizing violent videos.Comment: Accepted in International Conference on Advanced Video and Signal
