Content Analysis of Video Sequences

Abstract

Content analysis of video sequences is a critical component of virtually any application involving the management of large video data sets. Systems for managing video databases or transmitting large numbers of video sequences are most efficient if they incorporate some understanding of the video content. The required analysis must be automated if large volumes of video are to be accommodated. This report presents two contributions of this project to problems in video content analysis. The first is an algorithm for fast estimation of scene boundaries in video sequences. The second is an approach for using video content and short-term traffic statistics to improve bandwidth allocation when transmitting video over the internet.
