A method for detecting a contour of a given subject to be separated from images utilizing an image separating system. First, a plurality of candidate points which have been input by a user are displayed on a screen. A smooth curve which connects the plurality of candidate points is determined and is displayed on a display apparatus. The intensity of light on a straight line extending in a direction normal to each candidate point is determined. The position of the candidate point is corrected based upon the rate of change in the intensity of light which is determined for each candidate point. A smooth curve which passes the corrected candidate points is determined and is displayed on the display apparatus. The specified image, represented by the smooth curve connecting the corrected candidate points, is then separated from the rest of the image elements.

A method of characterizing a video includes the steps of extracting frame images from an input video, calculating a time length between each of the frame images and a next one of the frame images, assigning index information determined by the calculated time length to each of the frame images, stringing together the index information assigned to the frame images, and characterizing the input video by the strung-together index information. The index information is a character code, and the strung-together index information is a character code string. The frame images include head frame images located at scene changes of the input video. The input video is being broadcasted or is included in a data base.

A method of characterizing a video includes the steps of extracting frame images from an input video, calculating a feature of each of the frame images, assigning index information determined by the calculated feature to each of the frame images, stringing together the index information assigned to the frame images, and characterizing the input video by the strung-together index information.

A method of characterizing a video by providing index information includes the steps of extracting representative frame images from an input video, calculating a feature of each of the representative frame images, assigning respective codes to the representative frame images, each of the codes being determined by the calculated feature of the representative frame image to which the code is assigned, generating a code string by stringing together the codes assigned to the representative frame images, and storing the code string as index information of the input video.

There is provided a video retrieval method, and apparatus, capable of fast matching a feature of a target video with a feature of an enquiry video without conducting work of providing keywords for video retrieval. As for the target video, both a video which is being broadcasted and a video included in a data base can be dealt with. A retrieval method includes the steps of providing a representative frame image specified by a user with a code or a code string as a name thereof, and registering beforehand code strings of a plurality of representative frame images as enquiry video names; inputting a target video; extracting a representative frame image from the video; calculating one feature or a plurality of features from a whole or a part of the frame image; assigning a corresponding code to the feature or each of the features; providing the frame image with the code or a code string arranged in a predetermined order as a name thereof, and producing a video name for the video in a form of a frame name string corresponding to a string of the frames; and matching the enquiry video names with the video name by using the frame name string and outputting a result.

摘要:
A method of synthesizing a real image and a computer graphic (CG) having a complex shape in which the normal vector of each of two adjacent planes of a rectangular parallelepiped CG circumscribed about the CG having a complex shape is determined from the coordinates of six vertices representing the two planes on the basis of a real image of a rectangular parallelepiped, and parameters for three-dimensional rotational transformation of the rectangular parallelepiped CG required for synthesis are determined on the basis of the normal vectors. A CG having a complex shape for synthesis is produced by rotational transformation thereof on the basis of the parameters, and the CG having a complex shape thus produced is synthesized on the real image.

An operation sequence user adaptive system for use in a processing system. The system including a central processing unit in which after objects displayed on a display screen of a display are specified from a mouse or a keyboard, and when a function to be effected for the objects are specified through selection of a function selective menu, a pertinent function of an application program is executed. The adaptive system includes a function of storing a data structure for storing therein a usage frequency of each of the functions, an update function of monitoring an operation conducted by the user for each function and updating a weight between particular functions successively operated, and a combining function of combining, when the weight updated by the update function exceeds a predetermined threshold value, the particular functions associated with the weight.
