Content based active video data acquisition via automated cameramen
Qian Huang, Yuntao Cui, Supun Samarasekera · 2002
We propose to actively apply content based operation to video data acquisition. Our goal is to develop an automated cameraman to replace the human operator who acquires data in a content sensitive (smart) manner. This auto cameramen is capable of (1) constantly monitoring a global surrounding; (2) automatically keeping track of important visual events; (3) dynamically, based on the detected visual events, determining the video acquisition strategy; and (4) actively generating continuous video clips that are visual events coherent.
