Once the screen is located, this system also generates the temporal rate of change, using edge detection based method. Our approach adopts a scene segmentation algorithm that explores visual features (texture) and depth information to perform efficient screen localization. The cropped region which refers to the wide screen undergoes a salient visual cues extraction to retrieve the emphasized changes required in rate-of-change computation. In addition to video document indexing and retrieval, this work can improve the machine vision capability in behavior analysis and pattern recognition. ER -
