This paper presents a novel object-based video coding framework for videos obtained from a static camera. As opposed to most existing methods, the proposed method does not require...
Complex human activities occurring in videos can be defined in terms of temporal configurations of primitive actions. Prior work typically hand-picks the primitives, their total...
Abstract. In this paper we give a new model for foreground-background-shadow separation. Our method extracts the faithful silhouettes of foreground objects even if they have partly...
In this paper, an ontology-driven approach for the semantic analysis of video is proposed. This approach builds on an ontology infrastructure and in particular a multimedia ontolog...
Several stochastic models provide an effective framework to identify the temporal structure of audiovisual data. Most of them need as input a first video structure, i.e. connecti...
