VSCAN: An Enhanced Video Summarization using Density-based Spatial Clustering
In this paper, we present VSCAN, a novel approach for generating static video
summaries. This approach is based on a modified DBSCAN clustering algorithm to
summarize the video content utilizing both color and texture features of the
video frames. The paper also introduces an enhanced evaluation method that
depends on color and texture features. Video Summaries generated by VSCAN are
compared with summaries generated by other approaches found in the literature
and those created by users. Experimental results indicate that the video
summaries generated by VSCAN have a higher quality than those generated by
other approaches.Comment: arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1401.3590 by

An Integrated Content and Metadata based Retrieval System for Art
In this paper we describe aspects of the Artiste project to develop a distributed content and metadata based analysis, retrieval and navigation system for a number of major European Museums. In particular, after a brief overview of the complete system, we describe the design and evaluation of some of the image analysis algorithms developed to meet the specific requirements of the users from the museums. These include a method for retrievals based on sub images, retrievals based on very low quality images and retrieval using craquelure type
Methods of Hierarchical Clustering
We survey agglomerative hierarchical clustering algorithms and discuss
efficient implementations that are available in R and other software
environments. We look at hierarchical self-organizing maps, and mixture models.
We review grid-based clustering, focusing on hierarchical density-based
approaches. Finally we describe a recently developed very efficient (linear
time) hierarchical clustering algorithm, which can also be viewed as a
hierarchical grid-based algorithm.Comment: 21 pages, 2 figures, 1 table, 69 reference
