Title:
Space-Time Analysis and Manipulation of Dynamic Behaviors
Abstract:
Video data provides a visual window into the rich space-time world,
yet -- it is still mostly treated as a sequence of individual image
frames. In this talk I will show how by moving away from image-frames
and analyzing information contained in entire space-time volumes, we
can perform tasks that are very difficult and often impossible to
perform otherwise. In particular, I will show how this space-time
approach can be used for solving three difficult problems related to
analysis of dynamic scenes:
1. Fast search of complex actions in video (based on a single
example clip).
2. Prediction and completion of complex dynamic information in
video.
3. Detection of "irregularities" in visual data (including
detection of suspicious behaviors, salient behaviors,
saliency/attention in images, and other applications).
