In video surveillance and monitoring (VSAM), extracting foreground by detecting moving regions is the most fundamental step. The foreground extracted, however, includes not only objects in motion but also their shadows, which may cause errors in following video image processing steps. To remove the shadows, this paper presents a new technique to determine shadow pixels in the foreground image of a VSAM camera system. The proposed technique utilizes a fact that the effect of shadowing to each pixel is different defending on its brightness in a background image when determining shadow pixels unlike existing techniques where unified decision criteria are used to all pixels. Such an approach can easily accommodate local features in an image and hold consistent Performance even in changing environment. In real experiments, the proposed technique showed better results compared with an existing technique.

For the efficient searching and browsing of digital video, it is essential to extract the internal structure of the video contents. As an example, a news video consists of several sections such as politics, economics, sports and others, and also each section consists of individual topics. With this information in hand, users can ore easily access the required video frames. This paper addresses the problem of automatic shot boundary detection and selection of representative frames (R-frames), which are the essential step in recognizing the internal structure of video contents. In the shot boundary detection, a new algorithm that have dual detectors which are designed specifically for the abrupt boundaries (cuts) and gradually changing bounaries respectively is proposed. Compared to the existing 미algorithms that mostly have tried to detect both types by a single mechanism, the proposed algorithm is proved to be more robust and accurate. Also in the problem of R-frame selection, simple mechanical approaches such as selecting one frame every other second have been adopted. However this approach often selects too many R-frames in static short, while drops important frames in dynamic shots. To improve the selection mechanism, a new R-frame selection algorithm that uses motion information extracted from pixel difference is proposed.

In this paper, we propose an effective stereo-view video coding method that considers stereo-view and displayer characteristics. Current many stereo video displayers are designed for not only stereo display but also conventional single view display. In these systems, the resolution of two input videos for a stereo mode is half of that of single view for compatibility with conventional single view video services. In this raper, we propose a stereo video codec to deal with both single view and stereo view services by encoding whole left image and down-sampled right image. However, direct disparity estimation is not possible between two views because the resolution of a left image is different from that of the corresponding right image. So, we propose a disparity estimation method to make use of full information of the left reference image without down-sampling. In experimental result, we achieved $0.5{\sim}0.8\;dB$ coding gain, compared with several conventional algorithms.

Several 3 dimensional image display systems were recently developed in Korea. These are a holographic video system based on pulse laser illumination, ad 8-view 3 dimensional image system capable of displaying computer generated 3 dimensional images and multiview 3 dimensional imaging system based on moving aperture and holographic screens of both transmission and reflection types. All these systems require no special glasses to watch and works impressively.

In this paper, a real-time multiview video coding system using fast disparity estimation is proposed. In the multiview encoder, adaptive disparity-motion estimation (DME) for an effective 3-dimensional (3D) processing are proposed. That is, by adaptively predicting the mutual correlation between stereo images in the key-frame using the proposed algorithm, the bandwidth of stereo input images can be compressed to the level of a conventional 2D image and a predicted image also can be effectively reconstructed using a reference image and adaptive disparity vectors. Also, in multiview decoder, intermediate view reconstruction (IVR) using adaptive disparity search algorithm (DSA) for real-time multiview video processing is proposed. The proposed IVR can reduce a processing time of disparity estimation by selecting adaptively disparity search range. Accordingly, the proposed multiview video coding system is able to increase the efficiency of the coding rate and improve the resolution.

In this paper, we propose an improvement plan to increase the learning effect and satisfaction through the PBL - related video design class. PBL To prepare for the Fourth Industrial Revolution era, we must acquire diverse knowledge and skills to discover problems and solve them creatively. Therefore, various learning methods are being studied, and one of them is PBL learning. PBL is a learner-centered education that explores problems that may arise from specific topics other than existing curriculum-based education methods and finds solutions to problems. In this study, two lectures on video design related to video contents and image contents were taught in PBL class, and PBL class problem was analyzed and the improvement plan was studied.

For an efficient indexing and retrieval of digital video data, research on video caption extraction and recognition is required. This paper proposes methods for extracting artificial captions from video data and enhancing their image quality for an accurate Hangul and English character recognition. In the proposed methods, we first find locations of beginning and ending frames of the same caption contents and combine those multiple frames in each group by logical operation to remove background noises. During this process an evaluation is performed for detecting the integrated results with different caption images. After the multiple video frames are integrated, four different image enhancement techniques are applied to the image: resolution enhancement, contrast enhancement, stroke-based binarization, and morphological smoothing operations. By applying these operations to the video frames we can even improve the image quality of phonemes with complex strokes. Finding the beginning and ending locations of the frames with the same caption contents can be effectively used for the digital video indexing and browsing. We have tested the proposed methods with the video caption images containing both Hangul and English characters from cinema, and obtained the improved results of the character recognition.

The video shot detection based on video picture type is presented in this paper. The detection algorithm is used MPEG compressed video frame directly, not reconstructed the original image. For shot detection, I and P frame of MPEG video bit stream are classified. The detecting scene cuts at I pictures are detected by reconstructed DC image. While scene cuts at P picture frame by monitoring the percentage of Intra-macroblocks per P picture. Experimental results on the test video bit stream is shown the detection rate of $85\sim98%$ and searching time is 4 times faster than the previously known video shot detection algorithm on the decompressed video shot.
