Caption information in news videos can be useful for video indexing and retrieval since it usually suggests or implies the contents of the video very well. In this paper, a new algorithm for extracting and recognizing characters from news video is proposed, without a priori knowledge such as font type, color, size of character. In the process of text region extraction, in order to improve the recognition rate for videos with complex background at low resolution, continuous frames with identical text regions are automatically detected to compose an average frame. The image of the averaged frame is projected to horizontal and vertical direction, and we apply region filling to remove backgrounds to produce the character. Then, K-means color clustering is applied to remove remaining backgrounds to produce the final text image. In the process of character recognition, simple features such as white run and zero-one transition from the center, are extracted from unknown characters. These feature are compared with the pre-composed character feature set to recognize the characters. Experimental results tested on various news videos show that the proposed method is superior in terms of caption extraction ability and character recognition rate.

비디오 데이타는 다양하고 방대한 양의 의미를 포함하고 있어 효율적인 내용기반 검색을 지원하기 위해서는 비디오 데이타를 기술하는 구조적이고 체계화된 형태의 메타데이타가 요구된다. 이러한 메타데이타는 검색 시 색인과 같은 역할을 수행하게 되므로 내용 기반검색의 가장 기본적이고 필수적인 데이타이다. 본 논문에서는 뉴스 응용 분야(News On Demand：NOD)를 적용한 비디오 데이터베이스 시스템의 효율적인 내용 기반 검색을 위한 메타데이타를 분류하고, Rambaugh의 OMT기법을 이용하여 메타데이타를 모델링한 후 질의 유형에 따라 모델의 접근 경로를 검사하여 모델을 검증하였다.

문 스펜서는 색채조화 문제를 각각 색채 조화의 범위, 면적 효과, 배색의 미도로 나누었다. 기존의 색채 조화론의 부족한 점을 제거하여 보다 과학적이고 정량적인 조화이론을 전개했다. 본 논문에서는 영상과 비디오에서 일정 부분을 미도 계산에 활용하였다. 감각 기관이 외계로부터 자극을 받아 감각 지각을 생기게 하는 감수성을 말하는 감성으로 취급되는 색채조화 및 부조화의 문제를 수치적으로 계산하였다. 비디오 영상에서 두 가지 색을 식별하여 미도가 좋은 배색인지 아닌지를 나타내었다.

본 논문에서는 MPEG 비디오 스트림을 분석하여 DCT DC 계수를 추출하고 이들로 구성된 DC 이미지로부터 제안하는 robust feature를 이용하여 shot을 구하고 각 feature들의 통계적 특성을 이용하여 스트림의 특징에 따라 weight를 부가하여 구해진 characterizing value의 시간변화량을 구한다. 구해진 변화량의 local maxima와 local minima는 MPEG 비디오 스트림에서 각각 가장 특징적인 frame과 평균적인 frame을 나타낸다. 이 순간의 frame을 구함으로서 효과적이고 빠른 시간 내에 key frame을 추출한다. 추출되어진 key frame에 대하여 원영상을 복원한 후, 색인을 위하여 다수의 parameter를 구하고 사용자가 질의한 영상에 대해서 이들 파라메터를 구하여 key frame들과 가장 유사한 대표영상들을 검색한다.

A moving object has a special feature that it's spatial location, shape and size are changed as time goes. These changes of the object accompany the continuous movement that is called the trajectory. In this paper, we propose an index structure that users can retrieve the trajectory of a moving object with the access of a page. We also propose the multi-complex query that is a new query type for trajectory retrieval. In order to prove the excellence of our method, we compare and analyze the performance for query time and storage space through experiments in various environments. It is shown that our method outperforms the existing index structures when processing spatio-temporal trajectory queries on moving objects.

This paper proposes a video model for the implementation of the cultural video database system. We have utilized an efficient scene change detection method that segments cultural video into semantic units for efficient indexing and retrieval of video. Since video has a large volume and needs to be played for a longer time, it implies difficulty of viewing the entire video. To solve this Problem. the cultural video abstraction was made to save the time and widen the choices of video the video abstract is the summarization of scenes, which includes important events produced by setting up the abstraction rule.

Recently as the user request on NoD (News-on-Demand) is largely increasing, there are a lot of researches to fulfill it. However, because of short life-cycle of new video data and periodical change of video data depending on anchor, it is difficult to apply the conventional video storage techniques to NOD applications directly. For this, we design and implement low-level storage manager for efficient storage and retrieval of multimedia data in NOD Services. Our low-level storage manager not only efficiently sotres video stream dat of new video itself, but also handles its index information. It provides an inverted file method for efficient text-based retrieval and an X-tree index structure for high-dimensional feature vectors. In addition, our low-level storage manager provides some application program interfaces (APIs) for storing video objects itself and index information extracted from hierarchial new video and some APIs for retrieving video objects easily by using cursors. Finally, we implement our low-level storage manager based on SHORE (Scalable Heterogeneous Object REpository) storage system by sunig a standard C++ language under UNIX operating system.

비디오 분할의 목적은 같은 내용들을 가지는 프레임들의 순서를 표현하는 각 샷의 비디오 순서 분할을 위한 것이다. 그리고 색인에 대한 각 샷으로부터 키 프레임을 선택한다. 존재하는 비디오 분할 방법들은 2가지 그룹들로 분류될 수 있다. 먼저 경계값이 할당되어야만 하는 샷 전환 검출(SCD) 접근과 클러스터 수의 사전 지식이 요구되는 클러스터 접근이다. 본 논문에서는 컬러-$x^2$명도 히스토그램 기반 FCM(fuzzy c-means) 클러스터링 알고리즘을 사용하는 비디오 분할 방법을 제안하였다. 이 알고리즘은 앞에서 기술한 2가지 접근의 혼합이다. 그리고 이것은 두 가지 접근들의 결점을 극복하도록 설계 되었다. 실험 결과들은 컬러-$x^2$명도 히스토그램 기반 FCM 클러스링 알고리즘이 강건하고 비디오 시퀀스들의 다양한 형태들에 응용할 수 있다고 제안한다.

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.

A moving object has a various features that its spatial location, shape, and size are changed as time goes. In addition, the moving object has both temporal feature and spatial feature. It is one of the highly interested feature information in video data. In this paper, we propose an efficient content-based multimedia information retrieval system, so tailed ECoMOT which enables user to retrieve video data by using a trajectory information of moving objects in video data. The ECoMOT includes several novel techniques to achieve content-based retrieval using moving objects' trajectories : (1) Muitiple trajectory modeling technique to model the multiple trajectories composed of several moving objects; (2) Multiple similar trajectory retrieval technique to retrieve more similar trajectories by measuring similarity between a given two trajectories composed of several moving objects; (3) Superimposed signature-based trajectory indexing technique to effectively search corresponding trajectories from a large trajectory databases; (4) convenient trajectory extraction, query generation, and retrieval interface based on graphic user interface
