The 3D reconstruction from 2D broadcast video is a challenging problem with many potential applications, such as 3DTV, free-viewpoint video or augmented reality. In this paper, a modular system capable of efficiently reconstructing 3D scenes from broadcast video is proposed. The system consists of four constitutive modules: tracking and segmentation, self-calibration, sparse reconstruction and, finally, dense reconstruction. This paper also introduces some novel approaches for moving object segmentation and sparse and dense reconstruction problems. According to the simulations for both synthetic and real data, the system achieves a promising performance for typical TV content, indicating that it is a significant step towards the 3D reconstruction of scenes from broadcast video.

A novel optical flow-based representation for temporal video segmentation
Akpınar, Samet; Alpaslan, Ferda Nur (2017-01-01)
Temporal video segmentation is a field of multimedia research enabling us to temporally split video data into semantically coherent scenes. In order to develop methods challenging temporal video segmentation, detecting scene boundaries is one of the more widely used approaches. As a result, representation of temporal information becomes important. We propose a new temporal video segment representation to formalize video scenes as a sequence of temporal motion change information. The idea here is that some s...
GIBBS RANDOM FIELD MODEL BASED 3-D MOTION ESTIMATION BY WEAKENED RIGIDITY
Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (1994-01-01)
3-D motion estimation from a video sequence remains a challenging problem. Modelling the local interactions between the 3-D motion parameters is possible by using Gibbs random fields. An energy function which gives the joint probability distribution of the motion vectors, is constructed. The most probable motion vector set is found by maximizing the probability, represented by this distribution. Since the 3-D motion estimation problem is ill-posed, the regularization is achieved by an initial rigidity assum...
A Graph-Based Approach for Video Scene Detection
Sakarya, Ufuk; Telatar, Zjya (2008-04-22)
In this paper, a graph-based method for video scene detection is proposed. The method is based on a weighted undirected graph. Each shot is a vertex on the graph. Edge weights among the vertices are evaluated by using spatial and temporal similarities of shots. By using the complete information of the graph, a set of the vertices mostly similar to each other and dissimilar to the others is detected. Temporal continuity constraint is achieved on this set. This set is the first detected video scene. The verti...
OPTIMIZATION OF ENCODING AND ERROR PROTECTION PARAMETERS FOR 3D VIDEO BROADCAST OVER DVB-H
Aksay, Anil; Bugdayci, Done; Akar, Gözde (2011-05-18)
In this study, we propose a heuristic methodology for modeling the end-to-end distortion characteristics of an error resilient broadcast system for 3D video overDigital Video Broadcasting -Handheld (DVB-H). We also use this model to optimally select the parameters of the video encoder and the error correction scheme, namely, Multi Protocol Encapsulation Forward Error Correction (MPE-FEC), minimizing the overall distortion. The proposed method models the RQ curve of video encoder and performance of channel c...
AN ABSTRACTION BASED REDUCED REFERENCE DEPTH PERCEPTION METRIC FOR 3D VIDEO
NUR YILMAZ, GÖKÇE; Akar, Gözde (2012-10-03)
In order to speed up the wide-spread proliferation of the 3D video technologies (e.g., coding, transmission, display, etc), the effect of these technologies on 3D perception should be efficiently and reliably investigated. Using Full-Reference (FR) objective metrics for this investigation is not practical especially for "on the fly" 3D perception evaluation. Thus, a Reduced Reference (RR) metric is proposed to predict the depth perception of 3D video in this paper. The color-plus-depth 3D video representati...
