본 논문에서는 MPEG 의 멀티미디어 응용 표준인 MAF(Multimedia Application Format)를 기반으로, 효율적인 비디오 콘텐츠의 검색 및 활용을 위한 통합 미디어 구조, 즉 비디오 MAF 를 제안한다. 제안하는 비디오 MAF 는 ISO 미디어 포맷을 기반으로 하고 단일의 비주얼 스트림과 다중 음성을 지원하기 위한 다수의 오디오 스트림, 내용기반의 정보를 포함하는 메타데이터, 그리고 비디오 콘텐츠의 대표 이미지를 동시에 포함하는 구조이다. 제안하는 파일포맷의 유용성을 검증하기 위해 비디오 MAF 로 생성 및 해석할 수 있는 부호기(encoder)와 복호기(decoder)를 설계하고 구현하여, 통합 미디어에 내재된 메타데이터를 이용한 효율적인 검색과 멀티트랙의 오디오 스트림을 활용한 다중 음성에 대한 지원이 가능함을 확인하였다. 또한 내재된 대표이미지는 비디오 콘텐츠에 대한 브라우징이 효과적으로 활용됨을 확인하였다.

Recently, it has become an important problem to extract semantic objects from videos, which are useful for improving the performance of video compression and video retrieval. In this thesis, an automatic extraction method of moving objects of interest in video is suggested. We define that an moving object of interest should be relatively large in a frame image and should occur frequently in a scene. The moving object of interest should have different motion from camera motion. Moving object of interest are determined through spatial continuity by the AMOS method and moving histogram. Through experiments with diverse scenes, we found that the proposed method extracted almost all of the objects of interest selected by the user but its precision was 69% because of over-extraction.

The increase of video data makes the demand of efficient retrieval, storing, and browsing technologies necessary. In this paper, a video segmentation method (scene change detection method, or shot boundary detection method) for the development of such systems is proposed. For abrupt cut detection, inter-frame similarities are computed using luminance and edge histograms and a cut is declared when the similarities are under th predetermined threshold values. A gradual scene change detection is based on the similarities between the current frame and the previous shot boundary frame. A correlation method is used to obtain universal threshold values, which are applied to various video data. Experimental results show that propose method provides 90% precision and 98% recall rates for abrupt cut, and 59% precision and 79% recall rates for gradual change.

본 논문은 다수의 고객들에게 실시간 재생 서비스를 제공하는 주문형 비디오 서버에서 데이타 검색의 효율을 높이기 위한 저장 시스템의 구조와 그에 따른 배치 정책을 제안한다. 주문형 비디오 저장 서버에서 동시에 보다 많은 고객들에게 그들이 원하는 서비스를 제공하기 위해서는 여러 분야에서의 다양한 정책들이 고려될 수 있으나, 특히 저장 매체들을 어떤 구조로 구성하고 여기에 비디오 객체들을 어떻게 배치할 것인가는 검색 효율과 직접 관계되는 중요한 문제이다. 본 논문에서는 디스크 배열 형태로 구성된 저장 시스템을 디스크 성능을 고려하여 재구성하고, 비디오 객체들을 저장할 때 저장하고자 하는 데이타의 특성들과 저장 구조를 함께 고려하여 검색 효율을 극대화할 수 있는 배치 방법을 제안한다. 마지막으로 제안된 정책의 검색 효율을 검증하기 위해 다양한 실험을 통하여 기존의 배치 정책들과 비교하고 성능을 평가한다.Abstract In this paper, we propose the structure of storage system and a placement policy to provide many clients with real-time playback services efficiently in VOD(video-on-demand) server. Though policies in various areas being considered to provide more clients with services of degree requested by them simultaneously in VOD storage server, it is important how to construct storage media and to place video objects on it for retrieval efficiency. In this paper, we reorganize a large disk array with disks performance and place video objects using the placement policy considering both characteristics of video data and the structure of storage system for maximizing retrieval efficiency. Lastly, we simulate the proposed policy and conventional policies through various environments, compare our policy with others n evaluate the performance of our policy.

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.

Video server which stores video streams should serve more users with the requested streams rapidly, satisfying their time constraints. In this paper, we propose the storage system that does not only maintain fast responses but also increase the number of users supported, with satisfying the time constraints characteristics of the video streams. When the video streams are retrieved in storage system under multiple disks environments, it can not only maintain the rapid responses but also can save the disk bandwidth owing to the retrieval based on priority. Also, it utilizes the given buffer capacity efficiently owing to determining the stream segment size heuristically, which is adapted to the buffer capacity Consequentially, these policies can increase the number of users supported. The correctness of the proposed policies is not only analyzed theoretically but also evaluated through simulations.

Full motion video data is the most effective data type that transmits information in multimedia enviornment. VOD service is system that uses network to transmit full motion video data interactively. Therefore VOD service system must satisfy the following requirements. First, it should transmit high quality full motion video. Second, it should be able to control a large quantity of full motion video. Third, a user should be able to retrieve the full motion vide effectively. However the existing VOD service system is established based n file system that not only does it have disadvantages in managment such as transaction control but also it is not suitable for distributed multimedia environment. The goal of this research is to build a VOD service system that provides high-quality full motion video assuming information retrieval. In order to mainly search video data's bibliographical information and to manage related information, VOD service system and DBMS system are to be closely related. Also, to transmit high quality full motion video data, we use MTP$^{TM}$(Media Transfer Protocol) developed by StarLight. MTP$^{TM}$ guarantees high bandwidth that is necessary to tansmit high quality full motion video data effectively. In other hand TCP/IP which is used for information search does not guarentee high bandwidth as that in MTP$^{TM}$. Therfore VOD service system that seraches information managed by DBMS and transmits requried full motion video data should control different kinds of protocol simultaneously. This paper describes the configuration of VODB system that has solved these problems, implementation and efficiency of data applied system.stem.

With ever more popularity of video web-publishing, popular content is being compressed, reformatted and modified, resulting in excessive content duplication. Such overlapped data can cause problem of search speed and rate of searching. However, duplicated data on other site can provide alternatives while specific site cause problem. This paper proposes the efficient method, for retrieving. similar video data in large database. In this research we have used the method to compare summarized video image instead of the raw video data, and detected similar videos through clustering in that dimension feature vector through PCA(principle component analysis). We show that our proposed method is efficient and accurate through our experiment.

멀티미디어가 발달함에 딸 이를 위한 다양한 검색 기법들이 제안되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 WeCAM 시스템에서 비디오 검색을 하기 위한 텍스처 성분과 영상의 윤곽선 특징을 동시에 이용한 검색 기법을 제안한다. 텍스처 특성 추출에는 8$\times$8 블록 DCT를 기반으로한 DCT-par와 DCT-energy 기법을 적용하고 윤곽선 추출에는 DCT의 대각선 계수를 이용하는 기법을 이용한다. WebCAM으로 생성된 비디오는 MPEG표준을 따르는 것으로 가정하고 있으며, 압축된 데이터에 디코딩 과정없이 직접 검색 기법을 적용함으로써 처리 시간을 단축할수 있다는 장점이 있다.
