This paper has presented a few problems when the 2D video superimposed the overlay text was converted to the 3D stereoscopic video. To resolve the problems, it proposes the scenario which the original video is divided into two parts, one is the video only with overlay text graphic region and the other is the video with holes, and then processed respectively. And this paper focuses on research only to detect and extract the overlay text graphic region, which is a first step among the processes in the proposed scenario. To decide whether the overlay text is included or not within a frame, it is used the corner density map based on the Harris corner detector. Following that, the overlay text region is extracted using the hybrid method of color and motion information of the overlay text region. The experiment shows the results of the overlay text region detection and extraction process in a few genre video sequence.

비디오 프레임 내의 오버레이 텍스트는 음성과 시각적 내용에 부가적인 정보를 제공한다. 특히, 뉴스 비디오에서 이 텍스트는 비디오 영상 내용을 압축적이고 직접적인 설명을 한다. 그러므로 뉴스 비디오 색인 시스템을 만드는데 있어서 가장 신뢰할 수 있는 실마리이다. 텔레비전 뉴스 프로그램의 색인 시스템을 만들기 위해서는 텍스트를 검출하고 인식하는 것이 중요하다. 이 논문은 뉴스 비디오에서 오버레이 텍스트를 검출하고 인식하는데 도움이 되는 오버레이 텍스트 시작 프레임 식별을 제안한다. 비디오 시퀀스의 모든 프레임이 오버레이 텍스트를 포함하는 것이 아니기 때문에, 모든 프레임에서 오버레이 텍스트의 추출은 불필요하고 시간 낭비다. 그러므로 오버레이 텍스트를 포함하고 있는 프레임에만 초점을 맞춤으로써 오버레이 텍스트 검출의 정확도를 개선할 수 있다. 텍스트 시작 프레임 식별 방법에 대한 비교 실험을 뉴스 비디오에 대해서 실시하고, 적절한 처리 방법을 제안한다.

This paper presents an overlay video multicast system over the Internet. The proposed system consists of two parts, i.e. overlay multicast tree suitable for the real-time video delivery and H.263+ rate control adaptive to overlay multicast tree. Overlay multicast tree is constructed to minimize the average time delay of members, and H.263+ rate control pursues a tradeoff between spatial and temporal qualities to enhance the human visual perceptual quality. Two systems are integrated and tested over the real Internet. And experimental results are provided to show the performance of the proposed system.

Many overlay texts are artificially superimposed on the broadcasting videos by humans. These texts provide additional information to the audiovisual content. Especially, the overlay text in news videos contains concise and direct description of the content. Therefore, it is most reliable clue for constructing a news video indexing system. To make the automatic person indexing of interview video in the TV news program, this paper proposes the method to only detect the name text line among the whole overlay texts in one frame. The experimental results on Korean television news videos show that the proposed framework efficiently detects the overlaid name text line.

With the development of video editing technology, there are growing uses of overlay text inserted into video contents to provide viewers with better visual understanding. Since the content of the scene or the editor's intention can be well represented by using inserted text, it is useful for video information retrieval and indexing. Most of the previous approaches are based on low-level features, such as edge, color, and texture information. However, existing methods experience difficulties in handling texts with various contrasts or inserted in a complex background. In this paper, we propose a novel framework to localize the overlay text in a video scene. Based on our observation that there exist transient colors between inserted text and its adjacent background a transition map is generated. Then candidate regions are extracted by using the transition map and overlay text is finally determined based on the density of state in each candidate. The proposed method is robust to color, size, position, style, and contrast of overlay text. It is also language free. Text region update between frames is also exploited to reduce the processing time. Experiments are performed on diverse videos to confirm the efficiency of the proposed method.

Many works have attempted to solve the scalability, the availability, and the low-latency problems of peer-to-peer (P2P) live video streaming; yet, the problems still remain. While tree-based systems are vulnerable to churn, the mesh-based systems suffer from high delay and overhead. The DHT-aided chunk-driven overlay (DCO) [1] tried to tackle these problems by using the distributed hash table (DHT), which structures into a mesh-based overlay to efficiently share the video segment. However, DCO fully depends on the capacity of the users' device which is small and unstable, i.e., the users' device may leave and join the network anytime, and the video server's bandwidth can be insufficient when the number of users joining the network suddenly increases. Therefore, cloud assist is introduced to overcome those problems. Cloud assist can be used to enhance the availability, the low-latency, and the scalability of the system. In this paper, the DHT is used to maintain the location of the streaming segments in a distributed manner, and the cloud server is used to assist other peers when the bandwidth which required for sharing the video segment is insufficient. The simulation results show that by using the threshold and cloud assist, the availability and the low-latency of the video segments, and the scalability of the network are greatly improved.

To address the problems caused by such high installation and maintenance cost in the conventional server-based cloud systems, researches on P2P cloud storages have been conducted recently. In this paper, we propose a hierachical overlay structure that can improve the playback quality in P2P cloud storage systems for video transmission. In this structure, after we make groups by clustering the participating peers based on their similarities, we construct subgroups by geographically dividing the peers belonging to a specific group considering the physical proximities among them. Therefore, when a request for video playback is issued, we can minimize the transmission delay by selecting the source peers depending on their locality. By simulations, we show that our proposed hierarchical overlay structure considering the peers' locality outperforms the structure where source peers are selected randomly.

The integrated modular avionics (IMA) system has quite a number of line repalceable moduels (LRMs) in a cabinet. The LRM performs functions like line replaceable units (LRUs) in federated architecture. The video processing module (VPM) acts as a video bus bridge and gateway of ARINC 818 avionics digital video bus (ADVB). The VPM is a LRM in IMA core system. The ARINC 818 video interface and protocol standard was developed for high-bandwidth, low-latency and uncompressed digital video transmission. FPGAs of the VPM include video processing function such as ARINC 818 to DVI, DVI to ARINC 818 convertor, video decoder and overlay. In this paper we explain how to implement VPM's Hardware. Also we show the verification results about VPM functions and IP core performance.

This paper presents a multimedia streaming platform for efficiently transmitting MPEG-4 content over IP networks. The platform includes an MPEG-4 compliant streaming server and client, supporting object-based representation of multimedia scenes, interactivity, and advanced encoding profiles defined by the ISO standard. For scalability purposes, we employ an application-layer multicast scheme for media transmission using overlay networks. The overlay network, governed by the central entity of the network distribution manager, is dynamically deployed according to a set of pre-defined criteria. The overlay network supports both broadcast delivery and video-on-demand content. The multimedia streaming platform is standards-compliant and utilizes widespread multimedia protocols such as MPEG-4, real-time transport protocol, real-time transport control protocol, and real-time streaming protocol. The design of the overlay network was architected with the goal of transparency to both the streaming server and the client. As a result, many commercial implementations that use industry-standard protocols can be plugged into the architecture relatively painlessly and can enjoy the benefits of the platform.
