摘要： The invention displays video search results in a form that makes it easy for users to determine which results are truly relevant. Each story returned as a search result is visualized as a collage of keyframes from the story's shots. The selected keyframes and their sizes depend on the corresponding shots' respective relevance. Shot relevance depends on the search retrieval score of the shot and, in some embodiments, also depends on the search retrieval score of the shot's parent story. Once areas have been determined, the keyframes are scaled and/or cropped to fit into the area. In one embodiment, users can mark one or more shots as being relevant to the search. In one embodiment, a timeline is created and displayed with one or more neighbor stories that are each part of the video and which are closest in time of creation to the selected story.

摘要： Techniques for generating a storyboard are disclosed. In one embodiment of the invention the storyboard is comprised of videos from one or more cameras based on the identification of activity in the video. Various embodiments of the invention include an assessment of the importance of the activity, the creation of a storyboard presentation based on importance and interaction techniques for seeing more details or alternate views of the video. In one embodiment, motion detection is used to determine activity in one or more synchronized video streams. Periods of activity are recognized and assigned importance assessments based on the activity, important locations in the video streams, and events from other sensors. In different embodiments, the interface consists of a storyboard and a map.

摘要： Techniques for generating timelines and event logs from one or more fixed-position cameras based on the identification of activity in the video are presented. Various embodiments of the invention include an assessment of the importance of the activity, the creation of a timeline identifying events of interest, and interaction techniques for seeing more details of an event or alternate views of the video. In one embodiment, motion detection is used to determine activity in one or more synchronized video streams. In another embodiment, events are determined based on periods of activity and assigned importance assessments based on the activity, important locations in the video streams, and events from other sensors. In different embodiments, the interface consists of a timeline, event log, and map.

摘要： An adaptive, interactive visual workspace for viewing groups of files based on their relationships. Relationships of files are visualized using iterative refinement of categories through a direct-manipulation graph-based layout. The visual workspace starts with a fully connected graph linking thumbnail images of related files that is then partitioned into neighborhoods in response to a user creating file stacks corresponding to different categories. Normalized spring lengths improve the overall quality of the layout. Different modes for membership in neighborhoods avoid confusing motion of files and help a user to manually organize the workspace. Additionally, retrieved files can be added without having to significantly move the previous files. Different visualization techniques indicate which files are related to each other. Different zoom rates are used for file location, and surrogate sizes allow users to increase the separation between files while still increasing the surrogate sizes.

摘要： A method, information system, and computer-readable medium is provided for segmenting a plurality of data, such as multimedia data, and in particular an image document stream. Segment boundary points may be used for retrieving and/or browsing the plurality of data. Similarly, segment boundary points may be used to summarize the plurality of data. Examples of image document streams include video, PowerPoint slides, and NoteLook pages. A genetic method having a fitness or evaluation function using information retrieval concepts, such as importance and precedence, is used to obtain segment boundary points. The genetic method is able to evaluate a large amount of data in a cost effective manner. The genetic method is also able to run incrementally on streaming video and adapt to usage patterns by considering frequently accessed images.
