본 논문에서는 2D 동영상을 3D 입체영상으로 변환하기 위해서 머신러닝에 의한 학습기반의 객체분할과 객체의 optical flow를 활용하는 방법을 제안한다. 성공적인 3D 변환을 가능하게 하는 객체분할을 위해서, 객체의 칼라 및 텍스쳐 정보는 학습을 통해 반영하고 움직임이 있는 영역 위주로 객체분할을 수행할 수 있도록 optical flow를 도입한 새로운 에너지함수를 설계하도록 한다. 분할된 객체들에 대해 optical flow 크기에 따른 깊이맵을 추출하여 입체영상에 필요한 좌우 영상을 합성하여 생성하도록 한다. 제안한 기법으로 인해 효과적인 객체분할과 깊이맵을 생성하여 2D 동영상에서 3D 입체동영상으로 변환됨을 실험결과들이 보여준다.

This paper proposes a digital algorithm for gray-scale/color image segmentation of real-time video signals and a cell-network-based implementation architecture in state-of-the-art CMOS technology. Through extrapolation of design and simulation results we predict that about 300$\times$300 pixels can be integrated on a chip at 100nm CMOS technology, realizing very high-speed segmentation at about 1600sec per color image. Consequently real-time color-video segmentation will become possible in near future.

To support various bandwidth requirements for many kinds of devices such as PC, notebook, PDA, cellular phone, a transcoding proxy is usually necessary to provide not only adapting multimedia streams to the client by transcoding, but also caching them for later use. Due to huge size of streaming media, we proposed the 3 kinds of segmentation - PT-2, uniform, bitrate-based segmentation. And to reduce the CPU cost of transcoding video, we proposed the DQS service policy. In this paper, we simulate the combined our previous two researches that are bitrate-based segmentation and DQS(Degraded Quality Service) policy. Experimental results show that the combined policy outperforms companion schemes in terms of the byte-hit ratios and delay saving ratios.

Context-awareness is an essential part of ubiquitous computing, and over the past decade video based activity recognition (VAR) has emerged as an important component to identify user's context for automatic service delivery in context-aware applications. The accuracy of VAR significantly depends on the performance of the employed human body segmentation algorithm. Previous human body segmentation algorithms often engage modeling of the human body that normally requires bulky amount of training data and cannot competently handle changes over time. Recently, active contours have emerged as a successful segmentation technique in still images. In this paper, an active contour model with the integration of Chan Vese (CV) energy and Bhattacharya distance functions are adapted for automatic human body segmentation using depth cameras for VAR. The proposed technique not only outperforms existing segmentation methods in normal scenarios but it is also more robust to noise. Moreover, it is unsupervised, i.e., no prior human body model is needed. The performance of the proposed segmentation technique is compared against conventional CV Active Contour (AC) model using a depth-camera and obtained much better performance over it.

본 논문은 동영상내의 객체를 자동으로 추출하고 추적할 수 있는 유전자 알고리즘 기반의 분할 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 시간 분할과 공간 분할로 이루어진다. 공간 분할은 각 프레임을 정확한 경계를 가진 영역으로 나누고 시간 분할은 각 프레임을 전경 영역과 배경 영역으로 나눈다. 공간 분할은 분산 유전자 알고리즘을 이용하여 수행된다. 그러나, 일반적인 유전자 알고리즘과는 달리, 염색체는 이전 프레임의 분할 결과로부터 초기화되고, 동적인 객체 부분에 대응하는 불안정 염색체만이 진화연산자에 의해 진화된다. 시간 분할은 두 개의 연속적인 프레임의 밝기 차이에 기반을 둔 적응적 임계치 방법에 의해 수행한다. 얻어진 공간과 시간 분할 결과의 결합을 통해서 객체를 추출하고, 이 객체들은 natural correspondence에 의해 전체 동영상을 통해 정확히 추적된다. 제안된 방법은 다음의 두 가지 장점을 가진다. 1) 제안된 비디오 분할 방법은 사전 정보를 필요로 하지 않는 자동 동영상 분할 방법이다. 2) 제안된 공간 분할방법은 기존의 유전자 알고리즘보다 해공간의 효율적인 탐색을 제공할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 정확한 객체 추적 메커니즘을 포함하고 있는 새로운 진화 알고리즘이다. 이러한 장점들은 제안된 방법이 잘 알려진 동영상과 실제 동영상에 성공적으로 적용됨을 통해 검증된다.

Motion segmentation is a fundamental technique for analysing image sequences of real scenes. A process of identifying moving objects from data is a typical task in many computer vision applications. In this paper, we propose motion segmentation that generally consists from background subtraction and foreground pixel segmentation. The Approximated Median Filter (AMF) was chosen to perform background modeling. Motion segmentation in this paper covers RGB video data.

In this paper, we propose the color fuzzy decision algorithm to face segmentation in a color image. Our algorithm can segment without the user's interaction by fuzzy decision marking. And it removes small parts such as a noise using wavelet morphology in the image obtained by applying the fuzzy decision algorithm. Also, it merges and chooses the face region in each quantization image through rough sets. This video object division algorithm is shown to be superior to a conventional algorithm.

With the development of three-dimensional display and related technologies, depth video coding becomes a new topic and attracts great attention from industries and research institutes. Because (1) the depth video is not a sequence of images for final viewing by end users but an aid for rendering, and (2) depth video is simpler than the corresponding color video, fast algorithm for depth video is necessary and possible to reduce the computational burden of the encoder. This paper proposes a fast mode decision algorithm for depth video coding based on depth segmentation. Firstly, based on depth perception, the depth video is segmented into three regions: edge, foreground and background. Then, different mode candidates are searched to decide the encoding macroblock mode. Finally, encoding time, bit rate and video quality of virtual view of the proposed algorithm are tested. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm save encoding time ranging from 82.49% to 93.21% with negligible quality degradation of rendered virtual view image and bit rate increment.

In this paper, we have proposed the efficient algorithm that can segment the video scene change using a various statistical characteristics obtained from by applying the wavelet transformation for each frames. Our method firstly extracts the histogram features from low frequency subband of wavelet-transformed image and then uses these features to detect the abrupt scene change. Second, it extracts the edge information from applying the mesh method to the high frequency subband of transformed image. We quantify the extracted edge information as the values of variance characteristic of each pixel and use these values to detect the gradual scene change. And we have also proposed an algorithm how extract the proper key frame from segmented video scene. Experiment results show that the proposed method is both very efficient algorithm in segmenting video frames and also is to become the appropriate key frame extraction method.
