video abstraction, video skimming, video summarization The fast evolution of digital video has brought many new applications. Consequently, research and development of new technologies are greatly needed which will lower the costs of video archiving, cataloging and indexing, as well as improve the efficiency and accessibility of stored videos. Among all possible research areas, video abstractio...

A video server on the Internet usually provides a short version of a video clip, a video abstraction, in order to provide highlights or the overall story to users as quickly as possible. However, since it is statically generated by content providers using domain-dependent heuristics, it cannot satisfy all users simultaneously. This paper proposes a domain-independent video abstraction algorithm...

Content-based video management system has become an active research topic for many researchers, which can fully abstract the content of video and index the video objects. A hierarchical semantic abstraction for sports video is proposed in the paper. We have represented the semantics of sports video at three levels of abstraction (using cricket video as an example). The top layer describes the c...

In this study, abstraction, desalination and recharge method and SEAWAT numerical model are used to investigate seawater intrusion repulsion in a hypothetical two-dimensional coastal aquifer to understand the relation of seawater intrusion with abstraction, desalination and recharge parameters (i.e. abstraction/recharge rate, wells distance and depth). Abstraction, desalination and recharge con...

Key frames are the subset of still images which best represent the content of a video sequence in an abstracted manner. In other words, video abstraction transforms an entire video clip to a small number of representative images. In this paper, we present a scheme for object-based video abstraction facilitated by an efficient video-object segmentation (VOS) system. In such a framework, the conc...

In this paper, we propose a method to abstract cooking videos. We define cooking video abstraction as shrinking videos maintaining the understandability of general cooking procedures visually and intuitively. Cooking motions and appearances of foods are considered as important segments in a cooking video. A method to extract such important segments referring to the intensity of motion in an ima...

With the increasing number of people who can afford to make videos to record their lives, home videos play more and more important role in multimedia. Video abstraction is an efficient way to help review such a huge amount of home videos. In this paper, a home video abstraction technique combining audio and video features is presented. The audio contents are firstly classified as silence, pure ...

In this paper, we propose a semantic-based abstraction of video data for capturing the spatio-temporal concepts associated with various objects in an input image or in a sequence of video frames. This abstraction can manifest itself eeectively in conceptualizing events and views in multimedia data as perceived by individual users. The objective is to provide an eecient mechanism for handling co...
