As a recent trend some TV stations prefer to use animated logos, therefore the detection of the presence of an animated TV logo emerges as a new requirement for certain applications. In this paper we present a novel method for the detection of animated television logos in real-time. The main idea is to handle all frames of the animated logo in a unified manner. For this purpose a unified logo boundary representation is utilized. In the training stage, the boundaries of the animated logo from each frame are placed in a single set. During detection, a voting-based decision scheme is performed in order to determine the presence of the trained logo. Furthermore robustness of the method is improved by incorporating negative clues regarding the existence of the animated logo obtained from the region of interest. Aforementioned clues are unified in order to reach a final decision by using effective combination rules. Finally, time windowing is used for eliminating false positives with short durations. The proposed method is examined through typical broadcast data and promising results are obtained.

A modular scheme for 2D/3D conversion of TV broadcast
Knorr, Sebastian; Imre, Evren; Oezkalayci, Burak; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın; Sikora, Thomas (2006-06-16)
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...
A scalable multi view audiovisual entertainment framework with content aware distribution
Ekmekçioğlu, Erhan; Günel Kılıç, Banu; Dissanayake, Maheshi; Worral, Stewart; Kondoz, Ahmet (2010-09-29)
Delivery of 3D immersive entertainment to the home remains a highly challenging problem due to the large amount of data involved, and the need to support a wide variety of different displays. Support of such displays may require different numbers of views, delivered over time varying networks. This requires a delivery scheme featuring scalable compression to adapt to varying network conditions, and error resiliency to overcome disturbing losses in the 3D perception. Audio and video attention models can be u...
A PARAMETRIC VIDEO QUALITY MODEL BASED ON SOURCE AND NETWORK CHARACTERISTICS

The increasing demand for streaming video raises the need for flexible and easily implemented Video Quality Assessment (VQA) metrics. Although there are different VQA metrics, most of these are either Full-Reference (FR) or Reduced-Reference (RR). Both FR and RR metrics bring challenges for on-the-fly multimedia systems due to the necessity of additional network traffic for reference data. No-eference (NR) video metrics, on the other hand, as the name suggests, are much more flexible for user-end applicatio...
A Novel UWB Slot Antenna with a Self-Complementary Matching Network
Ojaroudi, Mohammad; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem (2015-11-03)
In this paper a simple printed slot antenna with an enhanced bandwidth based on self-complementary structures is presented for UWB applications. The proposed antenna consists of a square radiating patch with a microstrip feed-line defected by an inverted U-shaped slot on one side, a rectangular slot and a defected ground plane by an inverted U-shaped strip protruded from rectangular slot on the other side. The antenna provides a wide usable fractional bandwidth of more than 100% (3.2-10.5 GHz). This large o...
A comparative evaluation of super – resolution methods on color images
Erbay, Fulya; Akar, Gözde; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2011)
In this thesis, it is proposed to get the high definition color images by using super – resolution algorithms. Resolution enhancement of RGB, HSV and YIQ color domain images is presented. In this study, three solution methods are presented to improve the resolution of HSV color domain images. These solution methods are suggested to beat the color artifacts on super resolution image and decrease the computational complexity in HSV domain applications. PSNR values are measured and compared with the results of...
