Abstract :
The current trend for integrating media of various forms has treated video sequences as object components. Video processing algorithms which automatically extract objects from video sequences need to be fine-tuned to suit the different video contents. The algorithms themselves, however, tend to be too complicated for multimedia-content editors without skills in video processing. We present a framework for use in a multimedia authoring system, that assists unskilled users in labeling objects. Image selection trains pixel- and region-unit feature extraction approaches which were devised to assist editor understanding. Furthermore, a graphical user interface is presented for the tracking stage which enables convenient editor training and label correction. The main part of the framework was implemented on a real-time parallel image processing system. The system was used to label jockeys in a horse racing sequence, achieving a factor of ten time reduction over a comparable manual labeling process
