Video adaptation can be classifi ed in many diff erent ways depending on the application scenario used. Some appropriate classifi cations include the following [2]:Semantic-level video adaptation Signal-level video adaptation (transcoding) Adaptation of scalable streamsSemantic video adaptation can be basically described as the detection of important or relevant fragments of a video clip (like goals in a soccer video or dialog scenes in an interview) and giving higher priority to these segments during the reduction of the resources allocated to the adapted video. Semantic video adaptation of sports videos has been studied extensively in the literature. For instance, in [3], metadata is combined with video analysis to detect important events and players. In [4], nonimportant video segments are replaced with still images, audio only, or text only representations, resulting in signifi cant reduction in the resources required for the consumption (transmission, decoding, and displaying) of a video clip. In [4], an experiment performed with baseball video clips demonstrated that the nonimportant segments occupied more than 50% of the video clip.

Depth assisted object segmentation in multi-view video
Cigla, Cevahir; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2008-01-01)
In this work, a novel and unified approach for multi-view video (MVV) object segmentation is presented. In the first stage, a region-based graph-theoretic color segmentation algorithm is proposed, in which the popular Normalized Cuts segmentation method is improved with some modifications on its graph structure. Segmentation is obtained by recursive bi-partitioning of a weighted graph of an initial over-segmentation mask. The available segmentation mask is also utilized during dense depth map estimation ste...
Multimedia Information Retrieval Using Fuzzy Cluster-Based Model Learning
Sattari, Saeid; Yazıcı, Adnan (2017-07-12)
Multimedia data, particularly digital videos, which contain various modalities (visual, audio, and text) are complex and time consuming to model, process, and retrieve. Therefore, efficient methods are required for retrieval of such complex data. In this paper, we propose a multimodal query level fusion approach using a fuzzy cluster-based learning method to improve the retrieval performance of multimedia data. Experimental results on a real dataset demonstrate that employing fuzzy clustering achieves notab...
Video segmentation using partially decoded MPEG bitstream
Kayaalp, Işıl Burcun; Akar, Gözde; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2003)
In this thesis, a mixed type video segmentation algorithm is implemented to find the scene cuts in MPEG compressed video data. The main aim is to have a computationally efficient algorithm for real time applications. Due to this reason partial decoding of the bitstream is used in segmentation. As a result of partial decoding, features such as bitrate, motion vector type, and DC images are implemented to find both continuous and discontinuous scene cuts on a MPEG-2 coded general TV broadcast data. The result...
Good features to correlate for visual tracking
Gündoğdu, Erhan; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2017)
Estimating object motion is one of the key components of video processing and the first step in applications which require video representation. Visual object tracking is one way of extracting this component, and it is one of the major problems in the field of computer vision. Numerous discriminative and generative machine learning approaches have been employed to solve this problem. Recently, correlation filter based (CFB) approaches have been popular due to their computational efficiency and notable perfo...
Video stabilization: digital and mechanical approaches
Bayrak, Serhat; Ulusoy, İlkay; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2008)
General video stabilization techniques which are digital, mechanical and optical are discussed. Under the concept of video stabilization, various digital motion estimation and motion correction algorithms are implemented. For motion estimation, in addition to digital approach, a mechanical approach is implemented also. Then all implemented motion estimation and motion correction algorithms are compared with respect to their computational times and accuracies over various videos. For small amount of jitter, ...
