Clustering of video data is an important issue in video abstraction, browsing and retrieval. Movie is a kind of complex video with rich content. As for the movie, however, clustering is more complicated than other types of videos like surveillance, sport games, and documentaries. In this paper, we propose a novel shot clustering algorithm combing the editing feature of the movie and the criteri...

Radiosurgery is a non-invasive alternative to brain surgery that uses a single focused application of high radiation to destroy intracerebral target tissues. A Gamma Knife delivers such treatments by using 201 cylindrically collimated cobalt-60 sources that are arranged in a hemispherical pattern and aimed to a common focal point. The accumulation of radiation at the focal point, called a “shot...

The present study aimed to determine the prebiotic effect of fruit and vegetable shots containing inulin derived from Jerusalem artichoke (JA). A three-arm parallel, placebo-controlled, double-blind study was carried out with sixty-six healthy human volunteers (thirty-three men and thirty-three women, age range: 18-50 years). Subjects were randomised into three groups (n 22) assigned to consume...

Despite the increasing popularity of animation for explaining dynamic subject matter, research shows it is not uniformly beneficial for learning. User control has been suggested as a way to enhance learning by ameliorating negative effects of animation. However, giving learners the responsibility for controlling how an animation presents its information does not always produce the anticipated b...

Huang and Sharad Mehrotra Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Dept. of Computer Science University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Urbana, IL 61801, USA E-mail:fyrui,[email protected] and [email protected] ABSTRACT While existing shot-based video analysis approaches provide users with better access to the ...

Video highlights are welcomed by audiences, and composed of interesting or meaningful shots, such as funny shots. However, video shots currently edited manually editors, which is inconvenient consumes an enormous amount time. A way to help editors locate more efficiently essential. Since in videos usually imply strong sentiments, a sentiment analysis model proposed automatically recognize senti...

Shot peening is a surface treatment process commonly used to enhance the fatigue properties of metallic engineering components. In industry, various types shots are used, and common strategy regenerate portion (approximately up 35% total shot mix weight) worn with new ones same type. Shots type do not have constant diameter, as it concluded by experience that diameter variation beneficial for l...

A video consists of a large number of scenes, which include many interesting shots. So, a retrieval system of searching many scenes for a desired shot is required. This paper presents a video scene retrieval system using the layerization of images and the stochastic attributed relational graph (ARG) matching method. Simulation results show that our system is robust for changing brightness, and ...
