In this thesis, a system, called Ontology-Driven Video Annotation and Retrieval System (OntoVARS) is developed in order to provide a video management system which is used for ontology-driven semantic content annotation and querying. The proposed system is based on MPEG-7 ontology which provides interoperability and common communication platform with other MPEG-7 ontology compatible systems. The Rhizomik MPEG-7 ontology is used as the core ontology and domain specific ontologies are integrated to the core ontology in order to provide ontology-based video content annotation and querying capabilities to the user. The proposed system supports content-based annotation and spatio-temporal data modeling in video databases by using the domain ontology concepts. Moreover, the system enables ontology-driven query formulation and processing according to the domain ontology instances and concepts. In the developed system, ontology-driven concept querying, spatio-temporal querying, region-based and time-based querying capabilities are performed as simple querying types. Besides these simple query types, compound queries are also generated by combining simple queries with "(", ")", "AND" and "OR" operators. For all these query types, the system supports both general and video specific query processing. By this means, the user is able to pose queries on all videos in the video databases as well as the details of a specific video of interest.

Ontology-based spatio-temporal video management system Şimşek, Atakan; Çiçekli, Fehime Nihan; Department of Computer Engineering (2009) In this thesis, a system, called Ontology-Based Spatio-Temporal Video Management System (OntoVMS) is developed in order to supply a framework which can be used for semantic data modeling and querying in video files. OntoVMS supports semantic data modeling which can be divided into concept modeling, spatio-temporal relation and trajectory data modeling. The system uses Rhizomik MPEG-7 Ontology as the core ontology. Moreover ontology expression capability is extended by automatically attaching domain ontologi...
Semi-automatic semantic video annotation tool Aydınlılar, Merve; Yazıcı, Adnan; Department of Computer Engineering (2011) Semantic annotation of video content is necessary for indexing and retrieval tasks of video management systems. Currently, it is not possible to extract all high-level semantic information from video data automatically. Video annotation tools assist users to generate annotations to represent video data. Generated annotations can also be used for testing and evaluation of content based retrieval systems. In this study, a semi-automatic semantic video annotation tool is presented. Generated annotations are in...
An ontology-based multimedia information management system Tarakçı, Hilal; Çiçekli, Fehime Nihan; Department of Computer Engineering (2008) In order to manage the content of multimedia data, the content must be annotated. Although any user-defined annotation is acceptable, it is preferable if systems agree on the same annotation format. MPEG-7 is a widely accepted standard for multimedia content annotation. However, in MPEG-7, semantically identical metadata can be represented in multiple ways due to lack of precise semantics in its XML-based syntax. Unfortunately this prevents metadata interoperability. To overcome this problem, MPEG-7 standar...
A rule-based method for object segmentation in video sequences Alatan, Abdullah Aydın; Onural, L (1997-01-01) Object segmentation and tracking are problems within the scope of MPEG-4 and MPEG-7 standardization activities. A novel algorithm for both object segmentation and tracking is presented. The algorithm fuses motion, color, and accumulated previous segmentation data at 'region level', in contrast to conventional 'pixel level' approaches. The information fusion is achieved by a rule-based region processing unit which intelligently utilizes the motion information to locate the objects in the scene, the color inf...
A semi-automatic text-based semantic video annotation system for Turkish facilitating multilingual retrieval Kucuk, Dilek; Yazıcı, Adnan (2013-07-01) It is commonly acknowledged that ever-increasing video archives should be conveniently indexed with the conveyed semantic information to facilitate later video retrieval. Domain-independent semantic video indexing is usually carried out through manual means which is too time-consuming and labor-intensive to be employed in practical settings. On the other hand, fully automated approaches are usually proposed for very specialized domains such as team sports videos. In this paper, we propose a generic text-bas...
