With the advent of MPEG-4, object-based natural/synthetic hybrid multimedia content is becoming more ubiquitous. In this paper, we address object-based interactive analysis of natural video for editing/authoring natural/synthetic hybrid content. Boundary and local motion of video objects are described by snake and 2-D mesh representations, respectively. The 2-D mesh modeling in effect performs a mapping of a natural video object into a computer graphics representation, namely geometry with motion and a texture map; thus allowing for easy editing of natural video objects using tools already developed in computer graphics. This paper presents the components of a tool designed for interactive video object analysis and editing using graphical models whose syntax and semantics conform with VRML and MPEG-4 standards. The analysis tool is developed using Java and C++, while rendering and editing are performed within VRML or MPEG-4 browsers and authoring tools. Demonstrations of the video analysis and editing are included.

Optimal Resource Allocation of Dynamic Video Streaming Applications in a Public Cloud Environment
Aygun, Betul; ARICI, NURSAL; Coşar, Ahmet (2017-10-08)
With the technology improvements, managing a large amount of multimedia objects such as audio, video, picture or a combination of these has become possible. Multimedia data needs more real time storage and high data transfer than traditional textual and numeric data. In addition to these requirements, significant amount of computation is demanded for multimedia applications to serve many users at the same time. Due to these reasons, cloud computing is the emerging technology necessary for the multimedia inf...
İşbirlikli Mimari Tasarım Eğitiminde Sanal Dünya Kullanımı
Gül, Leman Figen (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 2011)
Üç Boyutlu (3B) sanal dünyaların işbirlikli tasarım eğitiminde gelişen bir bilişim aracı olarak kullanılması son yıllarda artan bir kabul görmeye başlamıştır. Bu makalede 3B sanal dünyaların mimari tasarım eğitiminde kullanımına dair bir atölye çalışması konu edilmiştir. Öğrenciler uzak coğrafyadaki takım arkadaşlarıyla birlikte sanal dünyada bir ev tasarlamışlardır. Newcastle Üniversitesi (Avustralya) ile Rangsit Üniversitesi’ndeki (Tayland) mimarlık öğrencilerinin katılımıyla gerçekleştirilen bu sa...
Forecasting Information And Telecommunications Technologies In An Era Of Change: What Are The Implications For Personal Travel?
Şenbil, Metin (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 2009-12-15)
Information and communication technologies (ICT) are enjoying fast development which immediately translate into their market enhancements nowadays (1). ICT relaxes both space and time constraints while allowing instant information exchange. In terms of activity-based travel demand, ICT use might substitute, complement or modify individual activity-travel behavior at varying degrees. On the other hand, ICT network externalities complement the social network in positive directions. Overall, ICT use complement...
Music driven real-time 3D concert simulation
Yılmaz, Erdal; Çetin, Yasemin; Erdem, Cigdem Eroglu; Erdem, Tanju; Ozkan, Mehmet (2006-01-01)
Music visualization has always attracted interest from people and it became more popular in the recent years after PCs and MP3 songs emerged as an alternative to existing audio systems. Most of the PC-based music visualization tools employ visual effects such as bars, waves and particle animations. In this work we define a new music visualization scheme that aims to create life-like interactive virtual environment which simulates concert arena by combining different research areas such as crowd animation, f...
Workplace cysberslacking: an investigation based on the theory of planned behavior
Koç, Yasemin Doğa; Toker, Yonca; The Department of Psychology (2020)
The use of computers and mobiles at workspaces has increased dramatically in the last decade. Employees’ access to the Internet is inevitable and mostly required within working hours. Cyberslacking is a phenomenon that describes the non-work-related behavior conducted in the workplace by using the Internet. The effects of Cyberslacking behaviors in the workplace are still controversial. Literature suggests that Cyberslacking can be a facilitator of both positive and negative workplace behaviors. Thus, it is...
