As a tool used for video maintenance, Video segmentation divides videos in hierarchical and structural manner. This technique can be considered as a core technique that can be applied commonly for various applications such as indexing, abstraction or retrieval. Conventional video segmentation used adaptive threshold to split video by calculating difference between consecutive frames and threshold value in window with fixed size. In this case, if the time difference between occurrences of cuts is less than the size of a window or there is much difference in neighbor feature, accurate detection is impossible. In this paper, Improved Adaptive threshold algorithm which enables determination of window size according to video format and reacts sensitively on change in neighbor feature is proposed to solve the problems above. Post-Processing method for decrement in error caused by camera flash and fast movement of large objects is applied. Evaluation result showed that there is 3.7% improvement in performance of detection compared to conventional method. In case of application of this method on modified video, the result showed 95.5% of reproducibility. Therefore, the proposed method is more accurated compared to conventional method and having reproducibility even in case of various modification of videos, it is applicable in various area as a video maintenance tool.

본 논문에서는 동영상 데이터베이스에서 Key-frame을 검색하는 방법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 Key-frame을 검색하기위해 컬러 피쳐를 공간영역에서 추출하지 않고 wavelet transform 영역에서 컬러 피쳐를 추출하는 방법을 제안한다. wavelet transform 의 저주파 밴드는 영상전체의 특징을 잘 나타내고 고주파 밴드는 texture 와 국부적인 컬러 특성을 잘 나타낸다. 색인과정 알고리즘은 영상의 크기를 정규화하고 RGB 컬러공간에서 HSV 컬러 공간으로 변환을 하여, H, S, V 각 채널에 대해 Daubechies' wavelet transform을 수행한 후 변환 영역에서 피쳐를 추출하게 된다. 색인을 위한 피쳐로 wavelet 계수와 lowest 밴드의 평균과 표준편차를 추출하였다. 효율적인 검색을 위해 검색은 2단계로 수행된다. 먼저 평균과 표준편차만을 이용한 1차 검색을 통해 2차 검색의 후보 영상들을 추출하고 2차 검색에서는 1차 검색 통과 영상들에 대해서만 wavelet 계수들을 비교하여 최종 검색 결과를 얻게 된다. 검색결과 기존의 컬러 피쳐를 이용한 방법보다 우수한 검색결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

The development of computer technology and the advancement of the technology of information and communications spread the technology of multimedia and increased the use of multimedia data with large capacity. Users can grasp the overall video data and they are able to play wanted video back. To grasp the overall video data it is necessary to offer the list of summarized video data information. In order to search video efficiently an index process of video data is essential and it is also indispensable skill. Therefore, this thesis suggested the effective method about the cut detection of frames which will become a basis of an index based on contents of video image data. This suggested method was detected as the unchanging pixel rotor intelligence value, classified into diagonal direction. Pixel value of color detected in each frame of video data is stored as A(i, i) matrix - i is the number of frames, i is an image height of frame. By using the stored pixel value as the method of UE(Mean Square Error) I calculated a specified value difference between frames and detected cut quickly and exactly in case it is bigger than threshold value set in advance. To carry out an experiment on the cut detection of lames comprehensively, 1 experimented on many kinds of video, analyzing and comparing efficiency of the cut detection system.

Recently, it is important to process multimedia data efficiently. Especially, in case of retrieval of multimedia information, technique of user interface and retrieval technique are necessary. This paper proposes a new technique which detects cuts effectively in compressed image information by MPEG. A cut is a turning point of scenes. The cut-detection is the basic work and the first-step for video indexing and retrieval. Existing methods have a weak point that they detect wrong cuts according to change of a screen such as fast motion of an object, movement of a camera and a flash. Because they compare between previous frame and present frame. The proposed technique detects shots at first using DC(Direct Current) coefficient of DCT(Discrete Cosine Transform). The database is composed of these detected shots. Features are extracted by HMMD color model and edge histogram descriptor(EHD) among the MPEG-7 visual descriptors. And detections are performed in sequence by the proposed matching technique. Through this experiments, an improved video segmentation system is implemented that it performs more quickly and precisely than existing techniques have.

This paper presents a new key frame extraction technique, for scene change detection, using the proposed AHIM (Accumulative Histogram Intersection Measure) from the DC image constructed by DCT DC coefficients in the compressed video sequence that is video compression standard such as MPEG. For fast content-based browsing and video retrieval in a video database, we also provide a novel coarse-to-fine video indexing scheme. In the extracted key frame, we perform the region segmentation as a preprocessing. First, the segmented image is projected with the horizontal direction, then we transform the result into a histogram, which is saved as a database index. In the second step, we calculate the moments and change them into a distance value. From the simulation results, the proposed method clearly shows the validity and superiority in respect of computation time and memory space, and that in conjunction with other techniques for indexing, such as color, can provide a powerful framework for image indexing and retrieval.

This paper proposes an automatic indexing algorithm of golf video using audio information. In the proposed algorithm, the input audio stream is demultiplexed into the stream of video and audio. By means of Adaboost-cascade classifier, the continuous audio stream is classified into announcer's speech segment recorded in studio, music segment accompanied with players' names on TV screen, reaction segment of audience according to the play, reporter's speech segment with field background, filed noise segment like wind or waves. And golf swing sound including drive shot, iron shot, and putting shot is detected by the method of impulse onset detection and modulation spectrum verification. The detected swing and applause are used effectively to index action or highlight unit. Compared with video based semantic analysis, main advantage of the proposed system is its small computation requirement so that it facilitates to apply the technology to embedded consumer electronic devices for fast browsing.

SAN(Storage Area Network)이 최근 대용량 데이터를 효율적으로 관리하기 위한 차세대 저장 장치로 각광받고 있다. 이 SAN에는 이미지, 동영상, 지도, 캐드 데이터와 같은 대용량의 고차원 특징을 갖는 데이터들이 저장되어 관리 될 것이다. 따라서 SAN 환경에서 이들을 보다 빠르고 정확하게 검색할 수 있는 효율적인 고차원 색인구조가 필요하다. SAN 환경은 저장 장치를 공유하는 형태의 병렬 환경이라 볼 수 있다. 이 논문에서는 SAN의 병렬성을 충분히 이용해서 고차원 데이터를 색인할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 고차원 색인 구조는 하나의 노드를 여러 디스크에 분산시켜 팬-아웃을 증가시키고 트리의 높이를 줄임으로서 검색성능을 향상시킨다. 또한 범위 질의와 K-최근접 질의 수행시 병렬성을 최대화하는 방법을 제안한다.

Low-cost, ultra-high-speed cameras, made possible by the development of image sensors and small displays, can be very useful in image processing and pattern recognition. This paper introduces an algorithm that corrects irregular lighting from a high-speed image that is continuously input with a slight time interval, and which then obtains an exposed skin color region that is the area of interest in a person from the corrected image. In this study, the non-uniform lighting effect from a received high-speed image is first corrected using a frame blending technique. Then, the region of interest is robustly obtained from the input high-speed color image by applying an elliptical skin color distribution model generated from iterative learning in advance. Experimental results show that the approach presented in this paper corrects illumination in various types of color images, and then accurately acquires the region of interest. The algorithm proposed in this study is expected to be useful in various types of practical applications related to image recognition, such as face recognition and tracking, lighting correction, and video indexing and retrieval.
