CH-6 – Abstract Video Stream Processing Theory

Posted on Author Ali Imran Comment(0)

Important Note: This article is part of a series in which TechReport.us discusses the theory of Video Stream Matching.

Abstract

The comparison of video sequences holds significance in numerous multimedia information systems. The typical basis for similarity measurement involves correlation with perceptual similarities or differences within video sequences, or with similarities or differences in semantic measures associated with the sequences.

In content-based similarity analysis, video data are expressed through various features, and similarity matching is executed by quantifying the relationships between features in the target and query video shots, using either individual features or feature combinations.

This study focuses on similarity analysis by assessing similarities among images. In this approach, key frames are extracted for each video shot, and the similarity among video shots is determined by comparing these key frames.

The extracted features encompass image histograms, slopes, edges, and wavelets. Both individual features and feature combinations are employed in similarity matching through Statistical Models. These models include NORM, MEAN, VARIANCE, and KS-TEST.

CH-2 – What is an Image – Part-1

Posted on Author Ali Imran

An image, in digital form, is a representation of a photograph, drawing, or text document. Mathematically described as a two-dimensional function, it consists of pixels, each with a specific brightness value. Digital images come in three basic file formats: Vector, Raster, and Meta. Vector images are defined by mathematical formulas, allowing for high quality and small file sizes. Raster images are composed of pixels, forming a dot-pattern image, suitable for photographs and scanned images. Meta images combine vector and raster information, useful for including text and annotations in raster images while maintaining quality.

CH-4 – Mean Frame Extractions – Part-3

Algorithm 1, focusing on mean frame extraction from AVI videos, operates similarly for both source and target videos. It stores the first and last frames and extracts a defined percentage of frames (10%) as temporary frames. Each temporary frame undergoes histogram calculation and comparison using the KS Test. Frames with differing distributions are saved as mean frames. This process continues until all frames are processed. The algorithm is outlined with steps for video input, temporary frame extraction, histogram calculation, and mean frame storage, ensuring efficient mean frame extraction for subsequent analysis in video stream matching.

CH-3 – Image Analysis – Part-4

Edge feature extraction involves two elements: Edge Map and Edge Direction. The Edge Map provides an image’s edge representation, following the Canny Edge Detector Algorithm. Edge Direction divides the total direction into four parts, calculated using Gaussian Values. Slope feature extraction comprises Slope Magnitude, Slope Direction, and Slope Signs. Slope Magnitude calculates maximum intensity change, Slope Direction determines the direction of this change, and Slope Signs categorize values as positive, negative, or zero, useful for classification. All features are calculated tile-wise and arranged into arrays for analysis, enabling detailed image characterization.
