This paper concentrates on a graph-based multilevel temporal segmentation method for scripted content videos. In each level of the segmentation, a similarity matrix of frame strings, which are series of consecutive video frames, is constructed by using temporal and spatial contents of frame strings. A strength factor is estimated for each frame string by using a priori information of a scripted content. According to the similarity matrix reevaluated from a strength function derived by the strength factors, a weighted undirected graph structure is implemented. The graph is partitioned to clusters, which represent segments of a video. The resulting structure defines a hierarchically segmented video tree. Comparative performance results of different types of scripted content videos are demonstrated.

Graph-based multilevel temporal video segmentation
Sakarya, Ufuk; TELATAR, ZİYA (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2008-11-01)
This paper presents a graph-based multilevel temporal video segmentation method. In each level of the segmentation, a weighted undirected graph structure is implemented. The graph is partitioned into clusters which represent the segments of a video. Three low-level features are used in the calculation of temporal segments' similarities: visual content, motion content and shot duration. Our strength factor approach contributes to the results by improving the efficiency of the proposed method. Experiments sho...
Streaming Multiscale Deep Equilibrium Models
Ertenli, Can Ufuk; Akbaş, Emre; Cinbiş, Ramazan Gökberk (2022-1-01)
We present StreamDEQ, a method that infers frame-wise representations on videos with minimal per-frame computation. In contrast to conventional methods where compute time grows at least linearly with the network depth, we aim to update the representations in a continuous manner. For this purpose, we leverage the recently emerging implicit layer models, which infer the representation of an image by solving a fixed-point problem. Our main insight is to leverage the slowly changing nature of videos and use the...
QUALITY EVALUATION OF STEREOSCOPIC VIDEOS USING DEPTH MAP SEGMENTATION
Sarikan, Selim S.; Olgun, Ramazan F.; Akar, Gözde (2011-09-09)
This paper presents a new quality evaluation model for stereoscopic videos using depth map segmentation. This study includes both objective and subjective evaluation. The goal of this study is to understand the effect of different depth levels on the overall 3D quality. Test sequences with different coding schemes are used. The results show that overall quality has a strong correlation with the quality of the background, where disparity is smaller relative to the foreground. The results also showed that con...
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...
Summarizing video: Content, features, and HMM topologies
Yasaroglu, Y; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2003-01-01)
An algorithm is proposed for automatic summarization of multimedia content by segmenting digital video into semantic scenes using HMMs. Various multi-modal low-level features are extracted to determine state transitions in HMMs for summarization. Advantage of using different model topologies and observation sets in order to segment different content types is emphasized and verified by simulations. Performance of the proposed algorithm is also compared with a deterministic scene segmentation method. A better...
