Abstract
Our research focuses on scene understanding of human working areas
by utilizing multiple sensors including multi-cameras.
In addition, we are working on intelligent (virtual)
cameramen and directors. Video archive and retrieval are also our
main research topics.
MULVIS-1
|
MULVIS-1 (MUlti-camera based Video Imaging System) is designed to
visualize a lecture in a classroom by using multiple observation/shoot
(8-12) pan-tilt cameras. A virtual director assigns the cameras to
virtual cameramen, gives them instructions of camera control, and
selects the best video image among them for broadcasting.
|
MULVIS-2
|
While the virtual director determines which camera to film
the object in focus in the classroom on MULVIS-1,
MULVIS-2 (Multi User Live Video Imaging System) can provide
customized video stream to each remote student
according to his/her preference.
This is a kind of a resource assignment problem since
the number of the pan-tilt cameras may be insufficient
to realize all the videos that they require.
|
Sensor Fusion Approach for Speaker Detection for Imaging
|
This is an improved version of MULVIS-1.
It uses not only image processing technology but also acoustic analysis
with microphone array and a position sensor to estimate speaker's
status more precisely.
|
CARMUL
|
CARMUL (Concurrent Automatic Recording for MUltimedia Lecture) captures
and records all the kinds of information that emerge inside the classroom
during the lecture such as hand-writing on whiteboard, slides with
switching time, voices, and multiple videos of objects in the room.
|
Minimizing Camera Control Adjustment to Keep Specified Camera-work
|
It is uncomfortable to see ticking video when a virtual cameraman
frequently changes rotation direction and speed so as to follow a
moving object. We propose a new method which dramatically depress
frequent adjustments by predicting camera and object status.
|
Brightness Control of Indivisual Objects inside A 3D Scene
|
It is difficult to image two objects which are in different brightness
on one video frame. We propose a light control method that lights
each object indivisually in order to maintain their brightness
in good condition.
