    摘要: A method extracts high-level features from a video including a sequence of frames. Low-level features are extracted from each frame of the video. Each frame of the video is labeled according to the extracted low-level features to generate sequences of labels. Each sequence of labels is associated with one of the extracted low-level feature. The sequences of labels are analyzed using learning machine learning techniques to extract high-level features of the video.

    摘要: A method for generating a representation of multimedia content by first segmenting the multimedia content spatially and temporally to extract objects. Feature extraction is applied to the objects to produce semantic and syntactic attributes, relations, and a containment set of content entities. The content entities are coded to produce directed acyclic graphs of the content entities, where each directed acyclic graph represents a particular interpretation of the multimedia content. Attributes of each content entity are measured and the measured attributes are assigned to each corresponding content entity in the directed acyclic graphs to rank order the multimedia content.

    摘要: A surveillance and control system includes a feature extraction unit to dynamically extract low-level features from a compressed digital video signal, a description encoder, coupled to the feature extraction unit, to encode the low-level features as content descriptors. An event detector is coupled to the description encoder to detect security events from the content descriptors, and a control signal processor, coupled to the event detector, to generate control signals in response to detecting the security events.

    摘要: A multi-media delivery system for delivering a compressed bitstream through a network to a user device includes a transcoder and a manager. The transcoder is configured to operate on the bit stream using in any one of a plurality of conversion modes. The manager is configured to selecting a particular one of the plurality of conversion modes dependent on semantic content of the bitstream and network characteristics. The system also includes a content classifier to determine the content characteristics, and a model predicator to determine the network characteristics, and user device characteristics. An integrator of the manager generates an optimal rate-quality function to be used for selecting the particular conversion model for a given available bit rate of the network.

    摘要: This invention relates to methods of feature extraction from MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 compressed video sequences. The spatio-temporal compression complexity of video sequences is evaluated for feature extraction by inspecting the compressed bitstream and the complexity is used as a descriptor of the spatio-temporal characteristics of the video sequence. The spatio-temporal compression complexity measure is used as a matching criterion and can also be used for absolute indexing. Feature extraction can be accomplished in conjunction with scene change detection techniques and the combination has reasonable accuracy and the advantage of high simplicity since it is based on entropy decoding of signals in compressed form and does not require computationally expensive inverse Discrete Cosine Transformation (DCT).

    摘要: A method describes motion activity in a video sequence. A motion activity matrix is determined for the video sequence. A threshold for the motion activity matrix is determined. Connected regions of motion vectors at least equal to the threshold are identified and measured for size. A histogram of the distribution of the sizes of the connected areas is constructed for the entire video sequence. The histogram is normalized to characterize the spatial distribution of the video sequence in a motion activity descriptor.

    摘要: A method analyzes a high-level syntax and structure of a continuous compressed video according to a plurality of states. First, a set of hidden Markov models for each of the states is trained with a training video segmented into known states. Then, a set of domain specific features are extracted from a fixed-length sliding window of the continuous compressed video, and a set of maximum likelihoods is determined for each set of domain specific features using the sets of trained hidden Markov models. Finally, dynamic programming is applied to each set of maximum likelihoods to determine a specific state for each fixed-length sliding window of frames of the compressed video.
