Video Recommendation System Using Machine-Learning Techniques

In the realm of contemporary artificial intelligence,machine learning enables automation,allowing systems to naturally acquire and enhance their capabilities through learning.In this cycle,Video recommendation is finished by utilizing machine learning strategies.A suggestion framework is an interaction of data sifting framework,which is utilized to foresee the“rating”or“inclination”given by the different clients.The expectation depends on past evaluations,history,interest,IMDB rating,and so on.This can be carried out by utilizing collective and substance-based separating approaches which utilize the data given by the different clients,examine them,and afterward suggest the video that suits the client at that specific time.The required datasets for the video are taken from Grouplens.This recommender framework is executed by utilizing Python Programming Language.For building this video recommender framework,two calculations are utilized,for example,K-implies Clustering and KNN grouping.K-implies is one of the unaided AI calculations and the fundamental goal is to bunch comparable sort of information focuses together and discover the examples.For that K-implies searches for a steady‘k'of bunches in a dataset.A group is an assortment of information focuses collected due to specific similitudes.K-Nearest Neighbor is an administered learning calculation utilized for characterization,with the given information;KNN can group new information by examination of the‘k'number of the closest information focuses.The last qualities acquired are through bunching qualities and root mean squared mistake,by using this algorithm we can recommend videos more appropriately based on user previous records and ratings.

Turbo-Based DNW Algorithm for Compressed Video in VLC Domain

In order to improve the robustness of the differential number watermarking (DNW) algorithm proposed by us before, we proposed turbo-based DNW (T-DNW) in which the turbo code was employed in the DNW algorithm. The turbo code was used to encode the message prior to watermark embedding and decode the watermark posterior to watermark detection. From the analysis and experiments, the following conclusion could be drawn. The T-DNW algorithm has little higher computational complexity than DNW. And both algorithms have the same performance in terms of watermark visual quality impact. Furthermore, the T-DNW algorithm is much more robust against some common attack than DNW. Although the T-DNW algorithm sacrifices a half payload, we think the achievements are encouraging.

Video-based measurement and data analysis of traffic flow on urban expressways

A new video-based measurement is proposed to collect and investigate traffic flow parameters. The output of the measurement is velocity-headway distance data pairs. Because density can be directly acquired by the reciprocal of headway distance, the data pairs have the advantage of better simultaneity than those from common detectors. By now, over 33 000 pairs of data have been collected from two road sections in the cities of Shanghai and Zhengzhou. Through analyzing the video files recording traffic movements on urban expressways, the following issues are studied：laws of vehicle velocity changing with headway distance, proportions of di0erent driving behaviors in the traffic system, and characteristics of traffic flow in snowy days. The results show that the real road traffic is very complex, and factors such as location and climate need to be taken into consideration in the formation of traffic flow models.

Encoder-Decoder Based LSTM Model to Advance User QoE in 360-Degree Video

The development of multimedia content has resulted in a massiveincrease in network traffic for video streaming. It demands such types ofsolutions that can be addressed to obtain the user’s Quality-of-Experience(QoE). 360-degree videos have already taken up the user’s behavior by storm.However, the users only focus on the part of 360-degree videos, known as aviewport. Despite the immense hype, 360-degree videos convey a loathsomeside effect about viewport prediction, making viewers feel uncomfortablebecause user viewport needs to be pre-fetched in advance. Ideally, we canminimize the bandwidth consumption if we know what the user motionin advance. Looking into the problem definition, we propose an EncoderDecoder based Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM) model to more accuratelycapture the non-linear relationship between past and future viewport positions. This model takes the transforming data instead of taking the direct inputto predict the future user movement. Then, this prediction model is combinedwith a rate adaptation approach that assigns the bitrates to various tiles for360-degree video frames under a given network capacity. Hence, our proposedwork aims to facilitate improved system performance when QoE parametersare jointly optimized. Some experiments were carried out and compared withexisting work to prove the performance of the proposed model. Last but notleast, the experiments implementation of our proposed work provides highuser’s QoE than its competitors.

Shearlet Based Video Fingerprint for Content-Based Copy Detection

Content-based copy detection (CBCD) is widely used in copyright control for protecting unauthorized use of digital video and its key issue is to extract robust fingerprint against different attacked versions of the same video. In this paper, the “natural parts” (coarse scales) of the Shearlet coefficients are used to generate robust video fingerprints for content-based video copy detection applications. The proposed Shearlet-based video fingerprint (SBVF) is constructed by the Shearlet coefficients in Scale 1 (lowest coarse scale) for revealing the spatial features and Scale 2 (second lowest coarse scale) for revealing the directional features. To achieve spatiotemporal natural, the proposed SBVF is applied to Temporal Informative Representative Image (TIRI) of the video sequences for final fingerprints generation. A TIRI-SBVF based CBCD system is constructed with use of Invert Index File (IIF) hash searching approach for performance evaluation and comparison using TRECVID 2010 dataset. Common attacks are imposed in the queries such as luminance attacks (luminance change, salt and pepper noise, Gaussian noise, text insertion);geometry attacks (letter box and rotation);and temporal attacks (dropping frame, time shifting). The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed TIRI-SBVF fingerprinting algorithm is robust on CBCD applications on most of the attacks. It can achieve an average F1 score of about 0.99, less than 0.01% of false positive rate (FPR) and 97% accuracy of localization.

Rebound of Region of Interest (RROI), a New Kernel-Based Algorithm for Video Object Tracking Applications

This paper presents a new kernel-based algorithm for video object tracking called rebound of region of interest (RROI). The novel algorithm uses a rectangle-shaped section as region of interest (ROI) to represent and track specific objects in videos. The proposed algorithm is constituted by two stages. The first stage seeks to determine the direction of the object’s motion by analyzing the changing regions around the object being tracked between two consecutive frames. Once the direction of the object’s motion has been predicted, it is initialized an iterative process that seeks to minimize a function of dissimilarity in order to find the location of the object being tracked in the next frame. The main advantage of the proposed algorithm is that, unlike existing kernel-based methods, it is immune to highly cluttered conditions. The results obtained by the proposed algorithm show that the tracking process was successfully carried out for a set of color videos with different challenging conditions such as occlusion, illumination changes, cluttered conditions, and object scale changes.

Correction of Inertial Navigation System’s Errors by the Help of Video-Based Navigator Based on Digital Terrarium Map

This paper deals with the error analysis of a novel navigation algorithm that uses as input the sequence of images acquired from a moving camera and a Digital Terrain (or Elevation) Map (DTM/DEM). More specifically, it has been shown that the optical flow derived from two consecutive camera frames can be used in combination with a DTM to estimate the position, orientation and ego-motion parameters of the moving camera. As opposed to previous works, the proposed approach does not require an intermediate explicit reconstruction of the 3D world. In the present work the sensitivity of the algorithm outlined above is studied. The main sources for errors are identified to be the optical-flow evaluation and computation, the quality of the information about the terrain, the structure of the observed terrain and the trajectory of the camera. By assuming appropriate characterization of these error sources, a closed form expression for the uncertainty of the pose and motion of the camera is first developed and then the influence of these factors is confirmed using extensive numerical simulations. The main conclusion of this paper is to establish that the proposed navigation algorithm generates accurate estimates for reasonable scenarios and error sources, and thus can be effectively used as part of a navigation system of autonomous vehicles.

MOTION-BASED REGION GROWING SEGMENTATION OF IMAGE SEQUENCES

This paper proposes a motion-based region growing segmentation scheme for the object-based video coding, which segments an image into homogeneous regions characterized by a coherent motion. It adopts a block matching algorithm to estimate motion vectors and uses morphological tools such as open-close by reconstruction and the region-growing version of the watershed algorithm for spatial segmentation to improve the temporal segmentation. In order to determine the reliable motion vectors, this paper also proposes a change detection algorithm and a multi-candidate pro- screening motion estimation method. Preliminary simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme is feasible. The main advantage of the scheme is its low computational load.

A software-defined networking approach for handover management with real-time video in WLANs

To achieve high performance and reliability in video streaming over wireless local area networks （WLANs）, one must jointly consider both optimized association to access points （APs） and handover management based on dynamic scanning of alternate APs.
