Research Interests By Wen-Hung Liao 廖文宏 9/27/2007
Focus of VIPL Research • Multimedia signal processing, including: • Video processing • Image analysis • Audio signal processing • A common thread: human perception of the physical world. (cognitive multimedia processing) • Put more emphasis on content analysis than compression/multimedia format/standards.
Video Processing • Semantic analysis of sports video: swimming style classification • Real-time video effects: compressed-domain Non-Photorealistic rendering (NPR) • Face detection and tracking: (see also DDPlayCam) • Facial expression analysis using local appearance information • Video-based human computer interaction: Magic Mirror • Video analysis in sleep studies • Motion tracking and analysis using real-time stereo • Skin color segmentation using achromatic features
Swimming Style Classification • Objective: to classify swimming motion into four styles, namely, • Backstroke (仰式) • Breaststroke (蛙式) • Butterfly (蝶式) • Free style (自由式) using video recorded with an above-water camera.
Compressed-Domain NPR With oil-paint effect Original video
Image Analysis • Biometrics: • Face recognition under low illumination • Recognition of human faces with glasses • Automatic caricature generation (2D and 3D) • Textured-image-based CAPTCHA (Completely Automated Public Turing Test to Tell Computers and Humans Apart: Examples) • Image-based CAPTCHA • Attention-based personal photo manager • Eye tracking • Recognition of Hand-drawn Geometric Objects
+ = 畫家完稿 輸入相片 自動產生之肖像畫 2D Caricature • Basic Idea
Textured-image-based CAPTCHA • Static Patterns: • Dynamic
Image-based CAPTCHA • Easy • Hard
