Human activity recognition using depth information is an emerging and challenging technology in computer vision due to its considerable attention by many practical applications such as smart home/office system, personal health care and 3D video games. This paper presents a novel framework of 3D human body detection, tracking and recognition from depth video sequences using spatiotemporal features and modified HMM. To detect human silhouette, raw depth data is examined to extract human silhouette by considering spatial continuity and constraints of human motion information. While, frame differentiation is used to track human movements. Features extraction mechanism consists of spatial depth shape features and temporal joints features are used to improve classification performance. Both of these features are fused together to recognize different activities using the modified hidden Markov model (M-HMM). The proposed approach is evaluated on two challenging depth video datasets. Moreover, our system has significant abilities to handle subject's body parts rotation and body parts missing which provide major contributions in human activity recognition.

오늘날 멀티미디어 정보의 양이 매우 빠른 속도로 증가함에 따라 멀티미디어에 대한 효율적인 관리가 더욱 중요하게 되었다. 특히 동영상과 같은 이미지에서는 특정 이미지를 추출하여 필요한 이미지를 관리하고자 하는 욕구가 증가되어가고 있다. 본 논문에서는 멀티미디어 자료의 효과적인 색인화 및 검색을 위한 동영상 처리를 위한 여러 멀티미디어 의미정보 추출 방법 중 내용 기반 의미 정보 추출 방법을 이용하여 특정 이미지를 검색하고 추출된 이미지만 저장하는 알고리즘을 설계하였다. 입력 영상에서 RGB 정보를 추출한 후 동영상의 모든 프레임을 순차적으로 검사하면서 주 RGB 범위 군집화 방법을 통하여 구성 내용의 위치와 분포를 참조하여 일치여부를 파악하여 입력 영상과 일치하는 동영상을 저장하도록 하였다.

The IR camera and laser-based IR projector provide an effective solution for real-time collection of moving targets in RGB-D videos. Different from the traditional RGB videos, the captured depth videos are not affected by the illumination variation. In this paper, we propose a novel feature extraction framework to describe human activities based on the above optical video capturing method, namely spatial-temporal texture features for 3D human activity recognition. Spatial-temporal texture feature with depth information is insensitive to illumination and occlusions, and efficient for fine-motion description. The framework of our proposed algorithm begins with video acquisition based on laser projection, video preprocessing with visual background extraction and obtains spatial-temporal key images. Then, the texture features encoded from key images are used to generate discriminative features for human activity information. The experimental results based on the different databases and practical scenarios demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed algorithm for the large-scale data sets.

In coastal video monitoring, the direct linear transform (DLT) method with ground control points (GCPs) is commonly used for geo-rectification. However, current practices often overlook the impact of GCP quantity, arrangement, and the geographical characteristics of beaches. To address this, we designed scenarios at Chuam Beach to evaluate how factors such as the distance from the camera to GCPs, the number of GCPs, and the height of each point affect the DLT method. Accuracy was assessed by calculating the root mean square error of the distance errors between the actual GCP coordinates and the image coordinates for each setting. This analysis aims to propose an optimal GCP placement method. Our results show that placing GCPs within 200 m of the camera ensures high accuracy with few points, whereas positioning them at strategic heights enhances shoreline extraction. However, since only fixed cameras were used in this study, factors like varying heights, orientations, and resolutions could not be considered. Based on data from a single location, we propose an optimal method for GCP placement that takes into account distance, number, and height using the DLT method.

This paper presents a user identification method at H.264 streaming using watermarking with fingerprints. The watermark can efficiently reduce the potential danger of forgery or alteration. Especially a biometric watermark has convenient, economical advantages. The fingerprint watermark can also improve reliability of verification using automated fingerprint identification systems. These algorithms, however, are not robust against common video compression. To overcome this problem, we analyze H.264 compression pattern and extract watermark after restoring damaged watermark using various filters. The proposed algorithm consists of enhancement of a fingerprint image, watermark insertion using discrete wavelet transform and extraction after restoring. The proposed algorithm can achieve robust watermark extraction against H.264 compressed videos.

Recently, the IDS(Intrusion Detection System) using a video camera is an important part of the home security systems which start gaining popularity. However, the video intruder detection has not been widely used in the home surveillance systems due to its unreliable performance in the environment with abrupt illumination change. In this paper, we propose an effective moving edge extraction algorithm from a sequence image. The proposed algorithm extracts edge segments from current image and eliminates the background edge segments by matching them with reference edge list, which is updated at every frame, to find the moving edge segments. The test results show that it can detect the contour of moving object in the noisy environment with abrupt illumination change.

Due to development of Internet network environments and data compression techniques, the size and amount of multimedia data has greatly increased. They are compressed before transmission or storage. Dealing with these compressed data such as video retrieval or indexing requires the decoding procedure most of the time. In video retrieval and indexing a color histogram is one of the most frequently used tools. We propose a novel scheme for extracting color histograms from images transformed into the compressed domain using $8{times}8$ DCT(Discrete Cosine Transform). In this scheme an averaged version of original image is obtained by filtering DCT coefficients with a filter we destined.

In this paper, we proposed hand detection and hand gesture recognition from USB camera video. Firstly, we extract hand region extraction using skin color information from a difference images. Background image is initially stored and extracted from the input images in order to reduce problems from complex backgrounds. After that, 16-directional chain code sequence is computed from the tracking of hand motion. These chain code sequences are compared with pre-trained models using DP matching. Our hand gesture recognition system can be used to control PowerPoint slides or applied to multimedia education systems. We got 92% hand region extraction accuracy and 82.5% gesture recognition accuracy, respectively.

본 논문에서는 불법복제 영상 판단을 위한 RGB 변위값 측정을 통한 360도 영상 식별 기준 키 프레임 선정 방법을 제안한다. 방송 프로그램이나 영화 등과 같은 콘텐츠는 인터넷들을 통하여 국내뿐만 아니라 해외로도 대량 불법 유통됨으로써 국가적으로 큰 손실이 발생하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 불법복제 여부를 빠른 속도로 판단하기 위한 방법으로 360도 영상에서 추출된 각각의 프레임에서 RGB 변위값을 측정하여 동일한 장면으로 인식되는 프레임을 하나로 묶어 해당 장면의 키 프레임으로 선정한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 방법은 불법복제 영상의 판단 시간을 단축시키고 판단 정확도를 향상시킬 수 있는 효과가 있다.

비디오 데이터에 대한 의미적 검출을 위해 이벤트 표현에 대한 많은 방법론이 연구되고 있지만, 아직도 저차원 특징을 이용한 내용기반 검출과 각 데이터에 주석을 정의한 주석기반 검출 방법이 대부분이다. 본 논문은 기존의 방법보다 의미적인 검색을 위해 객체 움직임 단위 생성과 이를 통한 이벤트 검출 기법을 제안한다. 첫째, 이벤트 단위로 움직임을 분류한다. 둘째, 분류된 객체 움직임에 대한 의미적 단위를 정의하고 이를 이벤트 검출에 이용하기 위해 저차원 특징과 매핑 가능한 규칙을 생성한다. 이를 통해 비디오 샷 단위의 의미적 이벤트 검출을 가능하게 한다. 제안된 내용의 유용성 평가를 위해 우리는 비디오 영상 이벤트 검출을 실험한 결과 약 80%의 정확률을 얻었다.
