Web-based Digital Video Sequencing System

Abstract

In order to access and retrieve Internet shared videos, there is a clear need for structuring to decrease search and loading time. Video segmentation is the process of dividing a video clip into segments of similar characteristics. Based on our segmentation research, this study proposes a complete Digital Video Sequencing and retrieval tool, aimed for the Internet users. This ongoing research aspires to provide a fast and efficient visual summarization and searching of video content such that users can efficiently determine whether they are interested in the video before they have to download it from the Internet. This system consists of three major modules. The first module is responsible for automatic segmentation of video scenes. The second module structures the video as a Contents Structure (VCS) ready for lookup. Finally, the last module provides the users with video display Interface Program. Our experiments on a number of various videos demonstrate the efficiency of this system.
