The objective of video segmentation is to segment a video sequence into parts called shots corresponding to a continuous set of frames taken from one camera. Transitions between shots can be abrupt (cuts) or gradual. Abrupt transition can be easily detected while detection of gradual transition, such as dissolve, in still an unsolved problem. In this paper we present a novel approach for a reli...

In this paper, we present an effective hierarchical shot classification scheme for broadcast soccer video. We first partition a video into replay and non-replay shots with replay logo detection. Then, non-replay shots are further classified into Long, Medium, Close-up or Out-field types with color and texture features based on a decision tree. We tested the method on real broadcast FIFA soccer ...

Segmenting video documents into sequences from elementary shots to supply an appropriate higher level description of the video is a challenging task. This paper presents a two-stage method. First, we build a binary agglomerative hierarchical time-constrained shot clustering. Second, based on the cophenetic criterion, a breaking distance between shots is computed to detect sequence changes. Vari...

Instead of clustering video shots into scenes using low level image features, in this paper, we propose a rule-based model to extract simple dialog or action scenes. Through analyzing video editing rules and observing temporal appearance patterns of shots in dialog scenes of movies, we deduce a set of rules to recognize dialog or action scenes. Based on these rules, a finite state machine is de...

The aim of this single case study was to monitor the external workload a professional female tennis player between 314 training sessions and 115 matches. A wearable device used during two fully consecutive seasons (24 months). External determined using time indicators (total active session times), shots (shots per week, session, hour, rally minute) frequency distribution rallies. This showed th...

Taekwondo is the art of hitting with your hands and feet. Tae Bo a sport that combines shots boxing shots, performed on musical background. Starting from this premise, purpose research to highlight most important used kicks in Taekwondo, also programs. The focus foot techniques, as 95% are by using lower limbs only 5% upper limbs. On other hand, wants underline benefits practicing Taekwondo.
