Abstract
This paper introduces an object-based approach for temporal video
partitioning and content-based indexing, where the basic indexing unit
is “lifespan of a video object”, rather than a “camera
shot” or “story unit”. We propose a system to extract
content-based features of video objects (VOs), based on a compact 2D
triangular mesh representation of them. An adaptive mesh-based video
object tracking scheme is then employed to compute the motion
trajectories of all node points. A set of “key snapshots”
which constitute a visual summary of the lifespan of the object are
automatically selected using motion and shape information. The system
provides direct access to the VOs and gives the functionalities such as
object-based search, manipulation, animation, and tracking
