In recent years, need in automatic video copy detection has been increased rapidly with the recent technical developments. In general, a developed system should provide a few requirements to conduct over large database including high detection accuracy, low comparison time and low memory usage. For that purpose, within the scope of the thesis, we propose a content-based video copy detection system that consists of three crucial stages namely feature extraction, quantization-based indexing and geometric verification. In feature extraction stage, local spatial and spatio-temporal features are extracted from reference and query videos to be used for similarity score calculation. In spatial domain, Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT), Opponent SIFT, Flip Invariant SIFT (F-SIFT) and Speed Up Robust Transform (SURF) descriptors, in spatio-temporal domain, Histogram of Orientated Gradient (HoG) and Motion Boundary Histogram (MBH) descriptors are utilized. In the second stage, in order to make efficient comparison among local features, the local features are quantized into indices with three state-of-the-art indexing schemes Bag-of-word, Hamming Embedding and Product Quantization. In the final stage, since there would be outliers during matching content indices, a geometric post-processing stage is utilized for both spatial and spatio-temporal features that impose an overall geometric model to refine the accuracy. Additionally, a compact geometric signature that encodes the local relation of interest points with binary signature is computed. The experimental results are presented on the well-known TRECVID 2009 content-based video copy detection dataset. The experiments show that combination of Flip Invariant SIFT, Hamming embedding, enhanced weak geometric consistency and visual group binary signature yields the best overall result.

Altintakan, Ümit Lütfü; Yazıcı, Adnan; Körpeoğlu, İbrahim; Department of Computer Engineering (2013)
Possibilities offered by the technology to create, share and disseminate image and video data have resulted in a rapid increase in the available visual data. However, the data is useless unless it is effectively accessed, which necessitates the semantic analysis of visual data. In this dissertation, we present a novel visual analysis system along with its application to image classification problem. We aim to address the challenges in the area originated from the semantic gap, and to facilitate the research...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology is fast reaching all avenues of application. From retail to warehousing, tracking farm animals to monitoring medicine dosage in human body, traffic control to airport baggage control, it is penetrating all forums and industries and providing ease of deployment and automated visibility and management of inventories which was not possible with traditional barcodes. Along with its superiority over barcodes, RFID systems are also required to be costeffective to b...
Object Segmentation in Multi-view Video via Color, Depth and Motion Cues
Cigla, Cevahir; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2009-01-01)
In the light of dense depth map estimation, motion estimation and object segmentation, the research on multi-view video (MVV) content has becoming increasingly popular due to its wide application areas in the near future. In this work, object segmentation problem is studied by additional cues due to depth and motion fields. Segmentation is achieved by modeling images as graphical models and performing popular Normalized Cuts method with some modifications. In the graphical models, each node is represented b...

Video information retrieval is a field of multimedia research enabling us to extract desired semantic information from video data. In content-based video information retrieval, visual content obtained from video scenes is utilized. For developing methods to cope with content-based video information retrieval in terms of temporal concepts such as action, event, etc., representation of temporal information becomes critical. In this thesis, action detection is tackled based on a temporal video representation m...
