This paper presents a new key frame extraction algorithm as well as a novel video-indexing scheme for a fast content-based browsing and retrieval in a video database. We first extract key frames by matching AHIM (Accumulated Histogram Intersection Measure) of DC image sequence constructed from the MPEG video sequence. Then we use the region segmentation-based projective histogram and its moments as database indices for video retrieval.
This correspondence considers the problem of detecting abrupt changes in the mean of a multivariate Gaussian random signal. A fixed sample size chi(2)-test is compared against the optimum sequential tests (chi(2)-CUSU...

This paper presents a novel algorithm for wipe scene changedetection in video sequences. In the proposed scheme, each image in the sequence is mapped to a reduced image. Then we use statistical features and structural properties of the images to identify wipe transition region. Finally, Hough transform is used to analyse the wiping pattern and the direction of wiping. Results show that the algorithm is capable of detecting all wipe regions accurately even when the video sequence contains other special effects.

Advanced video surveillance applications require two successive steps: image analysis and content understanding. The first step analyses and extracts the characteristics of the video sequence. It defines the regions or the objects of interest according to their spatial/temporal properties. This analysis results in a segmentation of the video sequence. This is interpreted by the content understanding step according to the specific scenario and surveillance requirements. This paper addresses the image analysis problem for a video surveillance system. We use a statistical model-based changedetection technique that defines the areas of interest in the image. Each area is analyzed separately by integrating spatial and temporal descriptors in a multi-feature clustering algorithm. The selective procedure we propose minimizes the computational load and significantly improves the results provided by the changedetection technique. We test this method on both indoor and outdoor surveillance sequences. All the results show a correct segmentation of the scene. Moreover each object defined in the segmentation is described in terms of its spatial and temporal properties. These results can represent a valid input for a later content understanding procedure in several surveillance scenarios.

Backscattering changedetection in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is a challenging task, due to the presence of speckle noise. A 3-dimensional (2 spatial and 1 time dimension) wavelet shrinkage algorithm is developed to remove the noise. Compared to the often used 2-dimensional SAR wavelet shrinkage algorithm, this 3-dimensional algorithm exploits the correlation between SAR images, and therefore, a better signal to noise ratio is obtained. Furthermore, an autoregressive (AR) model is applied to analyze the temporal changes of radar backscattering. The changedetection can be performed according to the AR model coefficients. Radarsat and ERS-2 SAR images are used to test this algorithm. The results show a significant improvement in the backscattering changedetection.

The problem of changedetection in signals using linear regression models is addressed. Most of the algorithms presented make use of two AR models: a reference model and a current model updated via a sliding block. changes are detected when a suitable distance between these two models is high. Three distance measures are considered in the paper: cepstral distance, log-likelihood ratio (justified by GLR) and a distance involving the cross-entropy of the two conditional probabilities laws (divergence test). Finally, a changedetection algorithm using three models and the evolution of Akaike's information criterion is presented. Some results on the application of the discussed algorithms in seismic signal segmentation are included.

An approach to the automatic analysis of the difference image for changedetection in multitemporal remote sensing images is proposed. This approach is based on a technique that exploits the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm for the estimation of the density functions associated with both the changed and unchanged pixels in the difference image. Then, on the basis of such estimates, an automatic method for the unsupervised analysis of the difference image is described. The method makes use of Markov random fields (MRFs) for modeling the spatial-contextual information included in the neighborhood of each pixel. Experimental results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Active contours or snakes are widely used in object segmentation for their ability to integrate feature extraction and pixel candidate linking in a single energy minimizing process. But the sensitivity to parameters values and initialization is also a widely known problem. The performance of snakes can be enhanced by better initialization close to the desired solution. We present a fine mouth region of interest (ROI) extraction using gray level image and corresponding gradient information. We link this technique with an original snake method. The automatic snakes use spatially varying coefficients to remain along its evolution in a mouth-like shape. Our experimentations on a large image database prove its robustness regarding speakers change of the ROI mouth extraction and automatic snakes algorithms. The main application of our algorithms is video-conferencing.

Most current image registration methods require some degree of user interaction. The present study investigates four fully automated methods to register radionuclide ventilation and perfusion (V/Q) lung scan images. The database of 34 clinical lung scans included a range of normal and abnormal images. Each V/Q scan was used to create a V/Q composite image, which is a superimposition of the registered ventilation and perfusion images, Color-enhanced V/Q composite images facilitate measurement of V/Q ratios, identification of ventilation or perfusion defects, and detection of temporal change and may assist in patient diagnosis and therapy planning. We present four algorithms: one-dimensional V/Q automatic registration method (VQARM), center-of-object registration (COO), two-dimensional linear Pearson correlation with background subtraction (2DLPC), and conditional entropy registration (CE). Each algorithm will be described in detail, and the relative performances will be compared.
