In the design concept of event servers we focus on the event server components in the part of distributed virtual environments. Using the stand alone event server on the internet we maintain the information of multiple user connections and the shared states information for real-time event management.

The major cue used for object segmentation is the motion information obtained from a novel locale-based motion estimation and clustering algorithm. At first, locales are classified according to color and intensity. The motion estimation is applied on the tiles of 16 x 16 pixels, which are the building blocks of locales. After motion estimation, camera motions are detected using a 2D affine motion model. Then the locales are grown from the tile level to the frame level in a pyramidal way using motion, color, and centroid variance constraint. The resulting locales, with tiles homogeneous in motion and color, are post-processed to recover the object boundary. Experimental results show that LMC combines temporal and spatial information in a graceful way, which enables it to segment the moving objects under different camera motions. Future work includes object tracking over multiple frames and utilization of texture information.","PeriodicalId":405589,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Conference on Multimedia and Expo, 2001.

The problem of semantic video indexing is actually of great interest due to the wide diffusion of large video databases. In literature we can find many video indexing algorithms, based on various types of low-level features, but the problem of semantic indexing is less studied and surely it is a great challenging one. The proposed algorithm is an example of solution to the problem of finding a semantic relevant event (e.g., scoring of a goal in a soccer game) in case of specific categories of audio-visual programmes. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively detect the presence of goals and other relevant events in sport programs.","PeriodicalId":405589,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Conference on Multimedia and Expo, 2001.

The scheme is based on a multiresolution Gradient Vector Flow field (M-GVF) and a Motion Geometric Space (MGS) formulation. In particular the proposed scheme is initialized from an object approximation which can be provided either (a) automatically (unsupervised case) based on a depth map estimation method or (b) semi-automatically by user interaction. In the following, several feature points are estimated on the initial object contour (i.e. depth object) and an M-GVF adapted MGS is created to determine the direction that a feature point is allowed to move to. In this framework, each feature point moves onto its MGS in order to locate the contour of the physical video object. Experimental results are presented to indicate the reliable performance of the proposed scheme on real life stereoscopic and monocular video sequences.","PeriodicalId":405589,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Conference on Multimedia and Expo, 2001.
