Beschreibung

In the last decade digital libraries and web video portals have become more and more popular. The amount of video data available on the World Wide Web (WWW) is growing rapidly. According to the official statistic-report of the popular video portal YouTube  more than 6 billion hours of video are watched each month and about 100 hours of video are uploaded every minute. Therefore, how to efficiently retrieve video data on the web or within large video archives has become a very important and challenging task.

In our current research, we focus on state-of-the-art techniques on video analysis and multimedia information retrieval (MIR). Potential topics include video Shot Boundary Detection (SBD), where a video stream will be separated into a set of representative key-frames. SBD often serves as a basis for further video analysis tasks. Video Text Detection (Video OCR) is one of the most intense research topics in MIR domain. Here we focus on improving existing approaches by using Deep-Learning techniques. Video Genre Classification is another topic attracted much more attention recently. An approach will be developed based on multimodal video information such as video key-frames,  frame concepts, topics from video texts etc. Personal ID document recognition (ID-Card). Face identification etc.

In this seminar, various methods for automatic video analysis and retrieval will be studied and developed.

Voraussetzungen

  • Strong interests in video/image processing, machine learning and/or computer vision

  • Software development in C/C++

  • Experience with OpenCV and machine learning applications as a plus
