Laser Beam Video Image Recorder for TV Signal

A Multi-Agent TV Recorder

Personal Television is here via the advent of a new class of devices called personal video recorders (PVRs). These recorders change the user task from (a) selecting a specific channel to watch from the 100+ available channels to (b) finding something “good” to record from the 10,000+ shows broadcast each week. Recommender systems, such as the one described in this paper, will help track users’ ...

3D Video Recorder

We present the 3D Video Recorder, a system capable of recording, processing, and playing three–dimensional video from multiple points of view. We first record 2D video streams from several synchronized digital video cameras and store pre-processed images to disk. An off-line processing stage converts these images into a time–varying three– dimensional hierarchical point–based data structure and...

A Semantic Image Category for Structuring TV Broadcast Video Streams

TV broadcast video stream consists of various kinds of programs such as sitcoms, news, sports, commercials, weather, etc. In this paper, we propose a semantic image category, named as Program Oriented Informative Images (POIM), to facilitate the segmentation, indexing and retrieval of different programs. The assumption is that most stations tend to insert lead-in/-out video shots for explicitly...

Laser Beam Hazard for flight personnel

Lasers can produce a beam of light of such intensity that permanent damage to human tissue, in particular the retina of the eye, can be caused instantaneously, even at distances of over 10 km. At lower intensities, laser beams can seriously affect visual performance without causing physical damage to the eyes; causing transient damage or causing sensation and loss of focus. Laser illumination o...
