Threshold‐Based Camera Motion Characterization of MPEG Video

We propose an efficient scheme for camera motion characterization in MPEG‐compressed video. The proposed scheme detects six types of basic camera motions through threshold‐based qualitative interpretation, in which fixed thresholds are applied to motion model parameters estimated from MPEG motion vectors (MVs). The efficiency and robustness of the scheme are validated by the experiment with real compressed video sequences.     

Structural image retrieval using automatic image annotation and region based inverted file

Image retrieval has lagged far behind text retrieval despite more than two decades of intensive research effort. Most of the research on image retrieval in the last two decades are on content based image retrieval or image retrieval based on low level features. Recent research in this area focuses on semantic image retrieval using automatic image annotation. Most semantic image retrieval techniques in literature, however, treat an image as a bag of features/words while ignore the structural or spatial information in the image. In this paper, we propose a structural image retrieval method based on automatic image annotation and region based inverted file. In the proposed system, regions in an image are treated the same way as keywords in a structural text document, semantic concepts are learnt from image data to label image regions as keywords and weight is assigned to each keyword according to spatial position and relationship. As the result, images are indexed and retrieved in the same way as structural document retrieval. Specifically, images are broken down to regions which are represented using colour, texture and shape features. Region features are then quantized to create visual dictionaries which are similar to monolingual dictionaries like English or Chinese dictionaries. In the next step, a semantic dictionary similar to a bilingual dictionary like the English–Chinese dictionary is learnt to mapping image regions to semantic concepts. Finally, images are then indexed and retrieved using a novel region based inverted file data structure. Results show the proposed method has significant advantage over the widely used Bayesian annotation models.

Fingerprint indexing based on minutiae-dependent statistical codes

Methods based on minutiae matching have been extensively used in fingerprint recognition because minutiae can be reliably extracted from poor quality and noisy fingerprints. However, structures have to be defined due to minutiae displacements and irreproducibility. Some of the structures, though very efficient, incur large computational complexities. In this article, a feature vector of statistically based values derived from the minutiae pattern in a fingerprint is proposed for indexing fingerprints using the incremental search retrieval method. The proposed indexing technique in combination with the incremental retrieval method proves to have an added advantage over certain minutiae-based structures, especially when the minutiae points are numerous in a fingerprint. The feature vector for a fingerprint requires negligible storage resources and, consequently, the computational time in the retrieval of a candidate list for a query fingerprint is very little.

Fast text location based on discrete wavelet transform

The paper describes a texture-based fast text location scheme which operates directly in the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) domain. By the distinguishing texture characteristics encoded in wavelet transform domain, the text is fast detected from complex background images stored in the compressed format such as JPEG2000 without full decompress. Compared with some traditional character location methods, the proposed scheme has the advantages of low computational cost, robust to size and font of characters and high accuracy. Preliminary experimental results show that the proposed scheme is efficient and effective.
