The detection of abrupt shot changes ("cuts") in videos is a basic step in video content analysis. Many cut detection algorithms based on histogram differences have been...
In archiving video for surveillance, frame-based coding has been used and it makes storage size large because the whole image is stored even if there is no object in the image. On...
In this paper, we propose a Bayesian approach to video object segmentation. Our method consists of two stages. In the first stage, we partition the video data into a set of 3D wate...
This paper describes a method to extend the registration range of a vision-based augmented reality (AR) system. We propose to use natural feature points contained in images captur...
Three-dimensional (3-D) models of outdoor scenes are widely used for object recognition, navigation, mixed reality, and so on. Because such models are often made manually with hig...
