This paper proposes shot genre classification from MPEG compressed movies, as one of the high-level indexing methods for audio-visual contents. Through statistical analysis of low-level and mid-level audio-visual features on compressed domain, the proposed method can achieve subjectively accurate shot classification within the movies into predefined genre set, which can be applied to various co...

Due to intrinsic and non-deterministic interactions, executions of multi-tasking real-time systems cannot be reproduced without additional mechanisms – record/replay is a technique that uses recording of executions to facilitate off-line reproduction of executions, but recording of an execution produces large amounts of data. In this paper, we present a dynamic algorithm that can organize the m...

We consider the protocol in which Alice sends one part of a maximally entangled state through the channel to Bob, who then performs a quantum operation on the received state, with the final objective of obtaining a nearly maximally entangled state, shared with Alice. We evaluate bounds on the one-shot capacity of this protocol in terms of smoothed conditional Rényi entropies. These in turn yiel...

We report a method for automated video indexing and shot characterization that meets the specific requirements of professional post-production and archivist end users. ASAP – Automated Shot Analysis Program – interprets source video material in a manner consistent with industry practice and generates logs and searchable databases of cut location and camera activity. It uses projective transform...

We describe a unique system called ViBE (video browsing environment) for browsing and searching large databases of video sequences. The system first computes the DC sequence for a given MPEG sequence. It then detects and identifies shot boundaries by using the generalized trace. A hierarchical tree structure is constructed for shot comparison and keyframe extraction. In addition to low-level im...

An efficient method for generation of high energy pulsed ir light between 0.9 and 1.5 ltm is described. The technique uses difference frequency mixing of pulsed, visible dye and Nd:YAG laser light in a 10 mm long BBO crystal. Quantum efficiencies of up to 23% and ir pulse energies up to 4.5 mJ are demonstrated. The low shot-to-shot fluctuations of difference frequency generation in BBO make thi...

The linewidth of a 14.7 nm wavelength Ni-like Pd soft x-ray laser was measured in a single shot using a soft x-ray diffraction grating interferometer. The instrument uses the time delay introduced by the gratings across the beam to measure the temporal coherence. The spectral linewidth of the 4d1S0-4p1P1 Ni-like Pd lasing line was measured to be Δλ/λ=3×10(-5) from the Fourier transform of the f...

This paper proposes a single generic real-time (or near real-time) play-break event detection algorithm for multiple sports, which include football, tennis, basketball, and soccer. The proposed algorithm only uses shot-based generic cinematic features, such as shot type and shot length. Detected play-break events are employed for two purposes: 1) All plays in certain sports, such as football an...

We propose a novel zero-shot learning method for semantic utterance classification (SUC). It learns a classifier f : X → Y for problems where none of the semantic categories Y are present in the training set. The framework uncovers the link between categories and utterances through a semantic space. We show that this semantic space can be learned by deep neural networks trained on large amounts...
