Session 6: Applications, Architecture and Systems Integration

Time-lapse video sequences have recently become a highly utilised asset for marketing and advertising, particularly within the field of construction and landscape development. However, the manual generation of these videos, at a quality that can be used for marketing purposes, can be quite time-consuming. In this paper, a novel application for generating time-lapse videos is proposed, which will automatically select the optimal frames for time-lapse video generation, enhance these frames by applying a number of image pre- processing and machine learning techniques such as FAST super-resolution to improve the frames quality, and finally, provide an intuitive user interface to allow …
