报告简介:

 Advanced multimedia applications will have to provide content-related functionalities such as search and retrieval of meaningful objects, detection and analysis of events, and understanding of scenes, which allow the user to access and manipulate the multimedia content with greater flexibility. This clearly depends on the automatic techniques for extracting such objects from multimedia data. In this lecture, the speaker will provide a tutorial on the state-of-the-art video segmentation and tracking technology, with particular attention paid to the recent developments in visual attention-based object extraction. Performance results will be included to highlight this emerging technology.
