Motion Tracking Of Human Mouth By Generalized Deformable Models, Syin Chan, Chong-Wah Ngo, Kok F. Lai Sep 1999

Motion Tracking Of Human Mouth By Generalized Deformable Models, Syin Chan, Chong-Wah Ngo, Kok F. Lai

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

We propose and evaluate four trackers for tracking the shape, motion and deformation of a human mouth in video sequences. The trackers are suitable for use in very low bitrate video coding systems. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.


Camera Break Detection By Partitioning Of 2d Spatio-Temporal Images In Mpeg Domain, Chong-Wah Ngo Jun 1999

Camera Break Detection By Partitioning Of 2d Spatio-Temporal Images In Mpeg Domain, Chong-Wah Ngo

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

In this paper, we propose a new approach to detect camera cuts and wipes. The approach projects a video into two images representing the spatio-temporal continuity of a video life. Visually, these images are composed by regions of different patterns, each region represents the temporal location of a shot. The shape of a region boundary inherently classifies cut and wipe, and most importantly, marks the start and end of a wipe sequence. We hence formulate algorithms to locate the color and texture discontinuities occurring at the boundaries of image regions.


A Graphical Knowledge Level Approach For User-Database Interaction, K. Tan, H. Chan, Keng Siau Nov 1990

A Graphical Knowledge Level Approach For User-Database Interaction, K. Tan, H. Chan, Keng Siau

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

The authors propose a novel user interface, the Graphical Knowledge Level interface, for user-database interaction. This interface addresses two of the current research problems: the semantic inadequacy of the relational model and the logical data dependence of the relational languages. The interface is more user-friendly than the SOL interface and the Universal Relation interface, as it employs the graphical approach. The semantic inadequacy problem is alleviated by using an enhanced entity-relationship model. This data model includes abstraction concepts such as aggregation, generalization, and categorization. A formal, high-level Graphical Knowledge Level Query Language, GKQL, which provides for both logical and physical …
