Abstract

Video synopsis is a technique that condenses a long surveillance video to a short summary. It faces challenges to process objects originally occluding each other in the source video. Previous approaches either treat occlusion objects as a single object, which however reduce compression ratio; or have to separate occlusion objects individually, but destroy interactions between them and yield visual artifacts. This paper presents a novel data structure called Flexible Object Graph (FOG) to handle original occlusions. Our FOG-based video synopsis approach can manipulate each object flexibly while preserving the original occlusions between them, achieving high synopsis ratio while maintaining interactions of objects. A challenging issue that comes with the introduction of FOG is that FOG may contain circulations that yield conflicts. We solve this problem by proposing a circulation conflict resolving algorithm. Furthermore, video synopsis methods usually minimize a multi-objective energy function. Previous approaches optimize the multiple objectives simultaneously which needs to strike a balance between them. Instead, we propose a stepwise optimization strategy consuming less running time while producing higher quality. Experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our method.

期刊介绍: The International Journal of Computer Vision (IJCV) serves as a platform for sharing new research findings in the rapidly growing field of computer vision. It publishes 12 issues annually and presents high-quality, original contributions to the science and engineering of computer vision. The journal encompasses various types of articles to cater to different research outputs. Regular articles, which span up to 25 journal pages, focus on significant technical advancements that are of broad interest to the field. These articles showcase substantial progress in computer vision. Short articles, limited to 10 pages, offer a swift publication path for novel research outcomes. They provide a quicker means for sharing new findings with the computer vision community. Survey articles, comprising up to 30 pages, offer critical evaluations of the current state of the art in computer vision or offer tutorial presentations of relevant topics. These articles provide comprehensive and insightful overviews of specific subject areas. In addition to technical articles, the journal also includes book reviews, position papers, and editorials by prominent scientific figures. These contributions serve to complement the technical content and provide valuable perspectives. The journal encourages authors to include supplementary material online, such as images, video sequences, data sets, and software. This additional material enhances the understanding and reproducibility of the published research. Overall, the International Journal of Computer Vision is a comprehensive publication that caters to researchers in this rapidly growing field. It covers a range of article types, offers additional online resources, and facilitates the dissemination of impactful research.
