Video Data Visualization System: Semantic Classification And Personalization
We present in this paper an intelligent video data visualization tool, based
on semantic classification, for retrieving and exploring a large scale corpus
of videos. Our work is based on semantic classification resulting from semantic
analysis of video. The obtained classes will be projected in the visualization
space. The graph is represented by nodes and edges, the nodes are the keyframes
of video documents and the edges are the relation between documents and the
classes of documents. Finally, we construct the user's profile, based on the
interaction with the system, to render the system more adequate to its
references.Comment: graphic
An information-driven framework for image mining
[Abstract]: Image mining systems that can automatically extract semantically meaningful information (knowledge) from image data are increasingly in demand. The fundamental challenge in image mining is to determine how low-level, pixel representation contained in a raw image or
image sequence can be processed to identify high-level spatial objects and relationships. To meet
this challenge, we propose an efficient information-driven framework for image mining. We distinguish four levels of information: the Pixel Level, the Object Level, the Semantic Concept Level, and the Pattern and Knowledge Level. High-dimensional indexing schemes and retrieval
techniques are also included in the framework to support the flow of information among the levels. We believe this framework represents the first step towards capturing the different levels of information present in image data and addressing the issues and challenges of discovering useful
patterns/knowledge from each level
Human Motion Capture Data Tailored Transform Coding
Human motion capture (mocap) is a widely used technique for digitalizing
human movements. With growing usage, compressing mocap data has received
increasing attention, since compact data size enables efficient storage and
transmission. Our analysis shows that mocap data have some unique
characteristics that distinguish themselves from images and videos. Therefore,
directly borrowing image or video compression techniques, such as discrete
cosine transform, does not work well. In this paper, we propose a novel
mocap-tailored transform coding algorithm that takes advantage of these
features. Our algorithm segments the input mocap sequences into clips, which
are represented in 2D matrices. Then it computes a set of data-dependent
orthogonal bases to transform the matrices to frequency domain, in which the
transform coefficients have significantly less dependency. Finally, the
compression is obtained by entropy coding of the quantized coefficients and the
bases. Our method has low computational cost and can be easily extended to
compress mocap databases. It also requires neither training nor complicated
parameter setting. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed scheme
significantly outperforms state-of-the-art algorithms in terms of compression
performance and speed
Image mining: trends and developments
[Abstract]: Advances in image acquisition and storage technology have led to tremendous growth in very large and detailed image databases. These images, if analyzed, can reveal useful information to the human users. Image mining deals with the extraction of implicit knowledge, image data relationship, or other patterns not explicitly stored in the images. Image mining is more than just an extension of data mining to image domain. It is an interdisciplinary endeavor that draws upon expertise in computer vision, image processing, image retrieval, data mining, machine learning, database, and artificial intelligence. In this paper, we will examine the research issues in image mining, current developments in image mining, particularly, image mining frameworks, state-of-the-art techniques and systems. We will also identify some future research directions for image mining
