Abstract

The rapid advance of digital technologies has resulted in an explosion of digital imagery data. In particular, video data is perhaps most time- and resource-consuming to process. There is a rich collection of vision techniques for analyzing imagery data, and for computing various statistical indicators. However, most of the techniques have not reached such an intelligent level that they can be relied upon to make decisions in place of a human.

Video visualization is a computation process that extracts meaningful information from original video data sets. Such visualizations can convey much more information, especially spatial-temporal information, than a few statistical indicators or line graphs. With carefully prepared visualizations, the human vision system, perhaps the most intelligent vision system, is able to become accustomed to certain kinds of "normal" visual patterns, and react to unusual levels or patterns of activities that need further investigation
In this talk, the speaker will present methods for “summarizing” video sequences, and rendering video volumes into appropriate visual representations that can be used to assist in the decision making processes of a human operator. He will discuss scientific and technical issues raised by this new development, and highlight the important role of computer vision techniques can play in video visualization.
