  • Video digests provide an effective way of confirming a video content rapidly due to their very compact form. By watching a digest, users can easily check whether a specific content is worth seeing in full. The impression created by the digest greatly influences the user's choice in selecting video contents. We propose a novel method of automatic digest creation that evokes a joyful impression through the created digest by exploiting smile/laughter facial expressions as emotional cues of joy from video. We assume that a digest presenting smiling/laughing faces appeals to the user since he/she is assured that the smile/laughter expression is caused by joyful events inside the video. For detecting smile/laughter faces we have developed a neural network based method for classifying facial expressions. Video segmentation is performed by automatic shot detection. For creating joyful digests, appropriate shots are automatically selected by shot ranking based on the smile/laughter detection result. We report the results of user trials conducted for assessing the visual impression with automatically created 'joyful' digests produced by our system. The results show that users tend to prefer emotional digests containing laughter faces. This result suggests that the attractiveness of automatically created video digests can be improved by extracting emotional cues of the contents through automatic facial expression analysis as proposed in this paper.

  • In this paper, a video broadcasting system between a home-server-type device and a mobile device is proposed. The home-server-type device can automatically extract semantic information from video contents, such as news, a soccer match, and a baseball game. The indexing results are utilized to convert the original video contents to a digested or arranged format. From the mobile device, a user can make recording requests to the home-server-type devices and can then watch and navigate recorded video contents in a digested form. The novelty of this study is the actual implementation of the proposed system by combining the actual IT environment that is available with indexing algorithms. The implementation of the system is demonstrated along with experimental results of the automatic video indexing algorithms. The overall performance of the developed system is compared with existing state-of-the-art personal video recording products.

  • 최근 잇따른 버스기사 폭행사건, 현금 수송차량 도난사고 등으로 차량의 내외부 상황을 녹화∙감시할 수 있는 ‘MDR(Mobile Digital Video Recorder)’의 필요성이 확산되고 있다. 해외의 경우 이미 경찰차, 구급차, 소방차 등 특수목적을 위한 중요 차량이나 기차, 선박 등에 설치가 보편화되어 중앙상황실에서 위험을 미리 탐지, 사고를 미연에 방지하고 있다. 국내에서는 현재 주차단속 및 차량견인에 MDR이 사용 중이며 향후 경찰차, 스쿨버스, 철도, 선박 등으로 사용의 폭이 크게 확대될 전망이다.

  • SIP(Session Initiation Protocol)는 기존의 VoIP(Voice over IP)를 위한 시스템에서 뿐만 아니라 호설정의 처리와 제어가 필요한 여러 인터넷 응용분야에 적용이 가능한 확장성이 뛰어난 프로토콜이다. 또한 HTTP(Hyper Text Transfer Protocol)와 유사한 텍스트 기반의 응용계층의 프로토콜로서 호처리시 절차가 비교적 간결하다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 SIP의 장점을 이용하여 화상회의를 위한 시스템을 구현하였다. 이때. 인증 기능을 부여하여 화상회의시 세션 연결을 위한 호설정을 이루는 과정에서 상대방을 인증할 수 있도록 하였고 인증방법으로는 메시지 인증기능과 함께 리플레이 공격(replay attack)의 방지기능을 가진 SIP 다이제스트 인증(Digest Authentication) 방법을 사용하였다. 본 화상회의 시스템에 사용된 SIP 사양은 최근에 발표된 RFC 3261을 기준으로 하였다.
