  • ILS-SUMM: Iterated Local Search for Unsupervised Video Summarization
    ILS-SUMM: ITERATED LOCAL SEARCH FOR UNSUPERVISED VIDEO SUMMARIZATION Yair Shemer1, Daniel Rotman2, and Nahum Shimkin1 1Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Technion, Haifa, Israel 2IBM Research, Haifa, Israel [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in building video summariza- tion tools, where the goal is to automatically create a short summary of an input video that properly represents the original content. We consider shot-based video summarization where the summary consists of a subset of the video shots which can be of various lengths. A straightforward approach to maximize the represen- tativeness of a subset of shots is by minimizing the total distance between shots and their nearest selected shots. We formulate the task of video summarization as an optimization problem with a knapsack-like constraint on the total summary duration. Previous studies have proposed greedy algorithms to solve this prob- lem approximately, but no experiments were presented to measure the ability of these methods to obtain solutions with low total distance. Indeed, our experi- ments on video summarization datasets show that the success of current methods in obtaining results with low total distance still has much room for improvement. In this paper, we develop ILS-SUMM, a novel video summarization algorithm to solve the subset selection problem under the knapsack constraint. Our algorithm is based on the well-known metaheuristic optimization framework – Iterated Local Search (ILS), known for its ability to avoid weak local minima and obtain a good near-global minimum. Extensive experiments show that our method finds solu- tions with significantly better total distance than previous methods.

  • Look Ahead to Improve Qoe in DASH Streaming
    Look Ahead to improve QoE in DASH streaming Román Belda, Ismael de Fez, Pau Arce, Juan Carlos Guerri Institute of Telecommunications and Multimedia Applications (iTEAM), Universitat Politècnica de València, Camino de Vera, 46022, Valencia, Spain e-mail: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] phone: 34-963879588 Abstract. When a video is encoded with constant quality, the resulting bitstream will have variable bitrate due to the inherent nature of the video encoding process. This paper proposes a video Adaptive Bitrate Streaming (ABR) algorithm, called Look Ahead, which takes into account this bitrate variability in order to calculate, in real time, the appropriate quality level that minimizes the number of interruptions during the playback. The algorithm is based on the Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) standard for on-demand video services. In fact, it has been implemented and integrated into ExoPlayer v2, the latest version of the library developed by Google to play DASH contents. The proposed algorithm is compared to the Müller and Segment Aware Rate Adaptation (SARA) algorithms as well as to the default ABR algorithm integrated into ExoPlayer. The comparison is carried out by using the most relevant parameters that affect the Quality of Experience (QoE) in video playback services, that is, number and duration of stalls, average quality of the video playback and number of representation switches. These parameters can be combined to define a QoE model. In this sense, this paper also proposes two new QoE models for the evaluation of ABR algorithms. One of them considers the bitrate of every segment of each representation, and the second is based on VMAF (Video Multimethod Assessment Fusion), a Video Quality Assessment (VQA) method developed by Netflix.

  • Sintel”, a Free and Open Project Available in Digital 4K
    Amsterdam, January 25, 2011 Product sheet Animation film “Sintel”, a free and open project available in digital 4k With the makers in attendance, the 3D animated short SINTEL has premiered at the Netherlands Film Festival, september 2010. For this film, producer Ton Roosendaal combined the talents of comics author Martin Lodewijk and screenwriter Esther Wouda with the young director Colin Levy (USA) and concept artist David Revoy (France). The vocal performances were created by Halina Reijn and Thom Hoffman. SINTEL is an epic short film that takes place in a fantasy world, where a girl befriends a baby dragon. After the little dragon is taken from her violently, she undertakes a long journey that leads her to a dramatic confrontation. For over a year an international team of 3D animators and artists worked in the studio of the Amsterdam Blender Institute on the computer-animated short 'Sintel'. This independent production was financed by the online user community of the free program Blender, supported by the Netherlands Film Fund, CineGrid Amsterdam, and with sponsorship from international companies. Recently the last target – a 4k digital rendering – of the film has been completed. The film project's primary target was intended as an incentive for the development of the Blender 3D open source software, a program producer Ton Roosendaal originally developed for use in his animation studio in the 90ies. The film itself, and any material made in the studio, will be released as Creative Commons shortly after the premiere. This concept, a true Open Movie, allows filmmakers and animators to study and reproduce every detail of the creation process.
