We explain theoretically how to reconstruct the 3D scene from successive frames in order to see the video in 3D. To do this, features, associated to moving rigid objects in 3D, are extracted in frames and matched. The vanishing point computed in frame corresponding to the direction of moving object is used for 3D positioning of the 3D structure of the moving object. First experiments are conducted and the obtained results are shown and publicly available. They demonstrate the feasibility of our method. We conclude this paper by future works in order to improve this method tacking into account non-rigid objects and the case of moving camera.
We present a visualization framework for annotating and comparing colonoscopy videos, where these annotations can then be used for semi-automatic report generation at the end of the procedure. Currently, there are approximately 14 million colonoscopies performed every year in the US. In this work, we create a visualization tool to deal with the deluge of colonoscopy videos in a more effective way. We present an interactive visualization framework for the annotation and tagging of colonoscopy videos in an easy and intuitive way. These annotations and tags can later be used for report generation…

We present in this paper an intelligent video data visualization tool, based on semantic classification, for retrieving and exploring a large scale corpus of videos. Our work is based on semantic classification resulting from semantic analysis of video. The obtained classes will be projected in the visualization space. The graph is represented by nodes and edges, the nodes are the keyframes of video documents and the edges are the relation between documents and the classes of documents. Finally, we construct the user's profile, based on the interaction with the system, to render the system mor…
We present a data-driven approach for 4D space-time visualization of dynamic events from videos captured by hand-held multiple cameras. Key to our approach is the use of self-supervised neural networks specific to the scene to compose static and dynamic aspects of an event. Though captured from discrete viewpoints, this model enables us to move around the space-time of the event continuously. This model allows us to create virtual cameras that facilitate: (1) freezing the time and exploring views; (2) freezing a view and moving through time; and (3) simultaneously changing both time and view. …
Visualizing the trajectory of multiple runners with videos collected at different points in a race could be useful for sports performance analysis. The videos and the trajectories can also aid in athlete health monitoring. While the runners unique ID and their appearance are distinct, the task is not straightforward because the video data does not contain explicit information as to which runners appear in each of the videos. There is no direct supervision of the model in tracking athletes, only filtering steps to remove irrelevant detections. Other factors of concern include occlusion of runne…
We present a new method for segmenting, and a new user interface for indexing and visualizing, the semantic content of extended instructional videos. Given a series of key frames from the video, we generate a condensed view of the data by clustering frames according to media type and visual similarities. Using various visual filters, key frames are first assigned a media type (board, class, computer, illustration, podium, and sheet). Key frames of media type board and sheet are then clustered based on contents via an algorithm with near-linear cost. A novel user interface, the result of two us…

Over the past few years, there has been an astounding growth in the number of news channels as well as the amount of broadcast news video data. As a result, it is imperative that automated methods need to be developed in order to effectively summarize and store this voluminous data. Format detection of news videos plays an important role in news video analysis. Our problem involves building a robust and versatile news format detector, which identifies the different band elements in a news frame. Probabilistic progressive Hough transform has been used for the detection of band edges. The detect…
With the increasingly detailed investigation of game play and tactics in invasive team sports such as soccer, it becomes ever more important to present causes, actions and findings in a meaningful manner. Visualizations, especially when augmenting relevant information directly inside a video recording of a match, can significantly improve and simplify soccer match preparation and tactic planning. However, while many visualization techniques for soccer have been developed in recent years, few have been directly applied to the video-based analysis of soccer matches. This paper provides a compreh…

We propose a new task, called Story Visualization. Given a multi-sentence paragraph, the story is visualized by generating a sequence of images, one for each sentence. In contrast to video generation, story visualization focuses less on the continuity in generated images (frames), but more on the global consistency across dynamic scenes and characters -- a challenge that has not been addressed by any single-image or video generation methods. We therefore propose a new story-to-image-sequence generation model, StoryGAN, based on the sequential conditional GAN framework. Our model is unique in t…

Medical Mixed Reality helps surgeons to contextualize intraoperative data with video of the surgical scene. Nonetheless, the surgical scene and anatomical target are often occluded by surgical instruments and surgeon hands. In this paper and to our knowledge, we propose a multi-layer visualization in Medical Mixed Reality solution which subtly improves a surgeon's visualization by making transparent the occluding objects. As an example scenario, we use an augmented reality C-arm fluoroscope device. A video image is created using a volumetric-based image synthesization technique and stereo-RGBD…
A panoramic image mosaic is an attractive visualization for viewing many overlapping photos, but its images must be both captured and processed correctly to produce an acceptable composite. We propose Swipe Mosaics, an interactive visualization that places the individual video frames on a 2D planar map that represents the layout of the physical scene. Compared to traditional panoramic mosaics, our capture is easier because the user can both translate the camera center and film moving subjects. Processing and display degrade gracefully if the footage lacks distinct, overlapping, non-repeating t…

Background and aim: Surgical telepresence using augmented perception has been applied, but mixed reality is still being researched and is only theoretical. The aim of this work is to propose a solution to improve the visualization in the final merged video by producing globally consistent videos when the intensity of illumination in the input source and target video varies. Methodology: The proposed system uses an enhanced multi-layer visualization with illumination-aware gradient mixing using Illumination Aware Video Composition algorithm. Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm is used to find…

We present a system that allows users to visualize complex human motion via 3D motion sculptures---a representation that conveys the 3D structure swept by a human body as it moves through space. Given an input video, our system computes the motion sculptures and provides a user interface for rendering it in different styles, including the options to insert the sculpture back into the original video, render it in a synthetic scene or physically print it. To provide this end-to-end workflow, we introduce an algorithm that estimates that human's 3D geometry over time from a set of 2D images and d…

The ability to recognize dynamical phenomena (e.g., dynamical phases) and dynamical processes in physical events from videos, then to abstract physical concepts and reveal physical laws, lies at the core of human intelligence. The main purposes of this paper are to use neural networks for classifying the dynamical phases of some videos and to demonstrate that neural networks can learn physical concepts from them. To this end, we employ multiple neural networks to recognize the static phases (image format) and dynamical phases (video format) of a particle-based skyrmion model. Our results show …

Skeleton-based human action recognition technologies are increasingly used in video based applications, such as home robotics, healthcare on aging population, and surveillance. However, such models are vulnerable to adversarial attacks, raising serious concerns for their use in safety-critical applications. To develop an effective defense against attacks, it is essential to understand how such attacks mislead the pose detection models into making incorrect predictions. We present SkeletonVis, the first interactive system that visualizes how the attacks work on the models to enhance human under…
