This paper presents a novel approach to face detection by localizing faces as the goal-specific saliencies in a scene, using the framework of selective visual attention of a human with a particular goal in mind. The proposed approach aims at achieving human-like robustness as well as efficiency in face detection under large scene variations. The key is to establish how the specific knowledge relevant to the goal interacts with the bottom-up process of external visual stimuli for saliency detection. We propose a direct incorporation of the goal-related knowledge into the specification and/or modification of the internal process of a general bottom-up saliency detection framework. More specifically, prior knowledge of the human face, such as its size, skin color, and shape, is directly set to the window size and color signature for computing the center of difference, as well as to modify the importance weight, as a means of transforming into a goal-specific saliency detection. The experimental evaluation shows that the proposed method reaches a detection rate of 93.4% with a false positive rate of 7.1%, indicating the robustness against a wide variation of scale and rotation.

Recently, development of digital technology is occupying a large part of multimedia information like character, voice, image, video, etc. Research about video indexing and retrieval progresses especially in research relative to video. In this paper, we propose new algorithm(Frame Feature Comparison) for MPEG video segmentation. Shot, Scene Change detection is basic and important works that segment it in MPEG video sequence. Generally, the segmentation algorithm that uses much has defect that occurs an error detection according to a flash of camera, movement of camera and fast movement of an object, because of comparing former frames with present frames. Therefore, we distinguish a scene change one more time using a scene change point detected in the conventional algorithm through comparing its mean value with abutted frames. In the result, we could detect more corrective scene change than the conventional algorithm.

When retrieving voluminous capacity of video image data, it is necessary to provide synopsized frame lists of video image data for indexing and replaying at the exact point where the user want to retrieve. We apply Mean Squared Error method to extract certain pixel value from diagonal direction of a frame. The RGB value of a pixel extracted from each frame is saved in a matrix form, and this frame is retrievedas a scene change point if the compared value of two points met the certain condition. Also implement the algorithm and provide a way to seize entire structure of video image and the point of scene changes. finally, we analyze and prove that our method has better performance compared with the others.

This paper discusses an effective algorithm which is proposed for abrupt scene change detection in MPEG bitstream. The proposed algorithm restores DC images by decoding only DC coefficients and estimates the new motion vectors between adjacent DC images and detects scene change by similarity measure between frames. The proposed algorithm calculates similarity measure between adjacent frames, i.e motion compensated inter-frame correlation, and detects scene change by comparing this similarity measure with threshold value independent of sequences. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has more than 90% \`recall\` and \`precision\` in almost sequences and these results can be considered better than other algorithms using threshold value dependent of sequences.

In this paper, the hybrid algorithm for the scene change detection of MPEG-based compressed video data is proposed. There have been two methods to detect scene changes of video data compressed using algorithms such as MPEG or motion-JPEG: analyzing the compressed data directly, and analyzing from the retrieved data. The former has the advantage of taking less time, while the latter can obtain detail results at the expense of time and memory. Thus by combining each algorithm we detect cuts from compressed sequence, retrieve data for some selected region, and detect gradual scene changes. Simulation results verify the superiorities of the proposed algorithm in analyzing time and accuracy.

In this paper, we present an effective system for the 3D scene labeling of objects from RGB-D videos. Our system uses a Markov Random Field (MRF) over a voxel representation of the 3D scene. In order to estimate the correct label of each voxel, the probabilistic graphical model integrates both scores from sliding window-based object detectors and also from object location prior maps. Both the object detectors and the location prior maps are pre-trained from manually labeled RGB-D images. Additionally, the model integrates the scores from considering the geometric constraints between adjacent voxels in the label estimation. We show excellent experimental results for the RGB-D Scenes Dataset built by the University of Washington, in which each indoor scene contains tabletop objects.

Sleep is very important physiology to our human, about one third of human life was sent over to sleep. This paper measures of sleep and proposes sleep quality and future direction in order to improve the sleep environment. Sleep measure was determined by using X2 histogram that is one of the scene change detection method. X2 histogram method is one of the statistical scene change detection and is used in many studies because of the histogram method performs better than the other. And find out their relationship by entering the degree of fatigue, alcohol, and hungry in order to develop quality of sleep and extracting to tossing and turning according to each situation.

It is often assumed that text regions in images are characterized by some distinctive or characteristic spatial frequencies. This feature is highly intuitive, and thus appealing as much. We propose a method of detecting horizontal texts in natural scene images. It is based on the use of two features that can be employed separately or in succession: the frequency of edge pixels across vertical and horizontal scan lines, and the fundamental frequency in the Fourier domain. We confirmed that the frequency features are language independent. Also addressed is the detection of quadrilaterals or approximate rectangles using Hough transform. Since texts that is meaningful to many viewers usually appear within rectangles with colors in high contrast to the background. Hence it is natural to assume the detection rectangles may be helpful for locating desired texts correctly in natural outdoor scene images.

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.

Video viewers can not understand enough entire video contents because most video is long length data of large capacity. This paper propose efficient scene change detection and video abstracting using new shot clustering to solve this problem. Scene change detection is extracted by method that was merged color histogram with ${\chi}^2$ histogram. Clustering is performed by similarity measure using difference of local histogram and new shot merge algorithm. Furthermore, experimental result is represented by using Real TV broadcast program.
