This project is part of a larger research project1 the aim of which is to create an interactive video art installation between spectator and computer, and an artwork which lies between art and science. The interface between them is driven by an open-ended “Artificial Intelligence” computational system that evolves in response to the autonomic reactions of arousal of a subject, rather than the c...

Last decade have shown the rapid increase in video based applications over wireless standards such as, WiMAX, LTE and LTE-Advance. Transmission of real-time video for various applications such as video-conferencing, telemedicine and video streaming over wireless channels is a challenging task because of high bit error rate in these channels. Furthermore, for the limited bandwidth in the wireles...

Efficient and effective handling of video documents depends on the availability of indexes. Manual indexing is unfeasible for large video collections. Efficient, single modality based, video indexing methods have appeared in literature. Effective indexing, however, requires a multimodal approach in which either the most appropriate modality is selected or the different modalities are used in co...

Segmenting news video into stories is among key issues for achieving efficient treatment of news-based digital libraries. In this paper we present a novel unsupervised algorithm that combines audio and video information for automatic partitioning news videos into stories. The proposed algorithm is based on the detection of anchor shots within the video. In particular, a set of audio/video templ...

The estimation of camera motion is one of the most important aspects for video processing, analysis, indexing, and retrieval. Most of existing techniques to estimate camera motion are based on optical flow methods in the uncompressed domain. However, to decode and to analyze a video sequence is extremely time-consuming. Since video data are usually available in MPEG-compressed form, it is desir...

Stereo video is regarded as an important developing trend of video technology and there is an increasing need to develop efficient and perceptually consistent methods for stereo video quality evaluation in the fields of stereo video signal processing. In this paper, a perceptual metric for stereo video quality evaluation is proposed based on the state-of-the-art physiological and psychological ...

Efficient and effective handling of video documents depends on the availability of indexes. Manual indexing is unfeasible for large video collections. Effective indexing requires a multimodal approach in which either the most appropriate modality is selected or the different modalities are used in collaborative fashion. In this paper we focus on the similarities and differences between the moda...

Images swirl on a screen. A controller in front of it invites you to grab on and start playing. Is this a game? Or is it art? How can you tell the difference between a computer game and new media art? Like any new media technology, interactive computers have established cultural positions by shifting existing understandings of the proper place of things. A starting point for identifying the dif...

In this paper video transmission in the Internet scenario, where packets move from source to destination, has been studied. In this various methods and schemes are discussed to transmit the packet from sender to destination efficiently. Various methods like encryption, scrambling techniques are used to hide the content from the intruders. These algorithms are compared on various parameters like...

With the best effort service presented by today’s Internet network, video streaming applications face an important challenge, especially with the aim to keep the quality perceived by the end user high enough. Several approaches had been explored in order to cope with this aspect. These approaches still suffer from many problems like scalability, complexity, and deployment. Recently, many resear...
