Enhanced visualisation of dance performance from automatically synchronised multimodal recordings (2011)

Gowing, Marc; Kelly, Philip; O'Connor, Noel E.

Enhanced visualisation of dance performance from automatically synchronised multimodal recordings (2011)

Gowing, Marc; Kelly, Philip; O'Connor, Noel E.

Abstract:

The Huawei/3DLife Grand Challenge Dataset provides multimodal recordings of Salsa dancing, consisting of audiovisual streams along with depth maps and inertial measurements. In this paper, we propose a system for augmented reality-based evaluations of Salsa dancer performances. An essential step for such a system is the automatic temporal synchronisation of the multiple modalities captured from different sensors, for which we propose efficient solutions. Furthermore, we contribute modules for the automatic analysis of dance performances and present an original software application, specifically designed for the evaluation scenario considered, which enables an enhanced dance visualisation experience, through the augmentation of the original media with the results of our automatic analyses.

How can I produce a web-accessed video to educate volunteers on how they can contribute their time at club level in special olympics? (2011)

Flood, Deirdre

Abstract:

This report presents an action research enquiry using the avenue of living educational theory to examine how I expanded my practice as a volunteer in Special Olympics to develop as an non formal educator within this context. I describe how I embraced my own values in education during this study and chose to be led by them as I attempted to understand how my values influenced my learning and the learning of others. I designed two action reflection cycles of enquiry from June 2010 to June 2011 whilst working with my local Special Olympics Club in Drogheda, Co. Louth, Ireland. In Cycle 1, I record my experience in the production of a commemorative DVD of the Club’s participation in the Special Olympics Ireland Games held in Limerick in June 2010. In Cycle 2, I draw on my experiential learning from Cycle 1 and focus my research enquiry on the production of an educational web accessed video called Changing Lives. This video was divided into six segments so that it could be integrated int...

How can I use video to improve teacher engagement with my school’s abundant ICT equipment? (2011)

How can I use video to improve teacher engagement with my school’s abundant ICT equipment? (2011)

Sloyan, Laura

Abstract:

This paper examines how video can be used to enhance teacher engagement with ICT as a teaching tool. The Connect School Project, South Dublin County Council’s ubiquitous computing initiative, equipped St. Aidan’s with a vast amount of information and communication technologies (ICT). A review of appropriate literature indicated that the use of such technologies in class could lead to effective teaching and learning environments, increase student self-esteem and could bridge the ‘digital-divide’ that might exist between students in disadvantaged areas and those in more affluent communities. Through two cycles of enquiry, I planned and produced a video which modelled how the laptops and associated hard and software could be used effectively in class. The video aimed to represent all stakeholders in the school: management, teachers and students. In this way a top-down endorsement of the use of ICT as a teaching and learning tool was communicated. I feel that if teachers are to embrace ...

How has my learning enabled me to create and share an animated video to assist newly qualified teachers in the creation of a safe critical space for their students? (2011)

Gallagher, Emma

Abstract:

This paper presents my emergent living theory as it developed while I attempted to address my concern “How has my learning enabled me to create and share an animated video to assist Newly Qualified Teachers in the creation of a safe critical space for their students?” I explore how my learning on the Masters in Education and Training Management (e-learning) has affected me both personally and professionally and how my learning has impacted the learning of others. In particular, I look at the role of critical pedagogy as it impacted my development of the video. I document the creation and distribution of an animated video using the State package by Xtranormal, through one action reflection cycle. I claim that through the use of an animated educational video, NQTs may engage critically with classroom management and in so doing improve their practice so that they can facilitate critical discourse among their students in a safe environment.

Overview of VideoCLEF 2008: Automatic generation of topic-based feeds for dual language audio-visual content (2009)

Larson, Martha; Newman, Eamonn; Jones, Gareth J.F.

Abstract:

The VideoCLEF track, introduced in 2008, aims to develop and evaluate tasks related to analysis of and access to multilingual multimedia content. In its first year, VideoCLEF piloted the Vid2RSS task, whose main subtask was the classification of dual language video (Dutchlanguage television content featuring English-speaking experts and studio guests). The task offered two additional discretionary subtasks: feed translation and automatic keyframe extraction. Task participants were supplied with Dutch archival metadata, Dutch speech transcripts, English speech transcripts and 10 thematic category labels, which they were required to assign to the test set videos. The videos were grouped by class label into topic-based RSS-feeds, displaying title, description and keyframe for each video. Five groups participated in the 2008 VideoCLEF track. Participants were required to collect their own training data; both Wikipedia and general web content were used. Groups deployed various classifier...

Spatial Video and GIS (2011)

Spatial Video and GIS (2011)

Lewis, Paul; Fotheringham, Stewart; Winstanley, Adam C.

Abstract:

GIS elemental unit representations of spatial data are often defined in terms of points, lines and areas. However, another type of spatial data that is becoming frequently captured, but as yet is largely ignored in GIS, is that of video. While digital video recording is a commonly encountered medium in modern society and encompasses many forms, from simple personal camcorders through to sophisticated survey and surveillance systems, its geographical representation in a GIS has not been fully examined or realised. In the majority of cases the video footage is usually captured while the device and/or the objects being viewed are in motion. What is of particular interest is when video streams can be, or have been, associated with spatial data such as location and orientation to create geographically referenced videographic data, which, for simplicity, will be defined as spatial video. Fundamentally, the nature of video is to record space, so when spatial properties can be accurately ac...

Speech-music discrimination from MPEG-1 bitstream (2001)

Jarina, Roman; Murphy, Noel; O'Connor, Noel E.; Marlow, Seán

Speech-music discrimination from MPEG-1 bitstream (2001)

Jarina, Roman; Murphy, Noel; O'Connor, Noel E.; Marlow, Seán

Abstract:

This paper describes a proposed algorithm for speech/music discrimination, which works on data directly taken from MPEG encoded bitstream thus avoiding the computationally difficult decoding-encoding process. The method is based on thresholding of features derived from the modulation envelope of the frequency-limited audio signal. The discriminator is tested on more than 2 hours of audio data, which contain clean and noisy speech from several speakers and a variety of music content. The discriminator is able to work in real time and despite its simplicity, results are very promising.

McGuinness, Kevin; O'Connor, Noel E.; Aly, Robin; de Jong, Franciska; Chatfield, Ken; Parkhi, Omkar M.; Arandjelovic, Relja; Zisserman, Andrew; Douze, Matthijs; Schmid, Cordelia

Abstract:

We demonstrate a multimedia content information retrieval engine developed for audiovisual digital libraries targeted at media professionals. It is the first of three multimedia IR systems being developed by the AXES project. The system brings together traditional text IR and state-of-the-art content indexing and retrieval technologies to allow users to search and browse digital libraries in novel ways. Key features include: metadata and ASR search and filtering, on-the-fly visual concept classification (categories, faces, places, and logos), and similarity search (instances and faces).

Through the enlightened eye and I – am I bringing creativity and visual literacy into Higher Level Education? (2011)

Crotty, Yvonne

Through the enlightened eye and I – am I bringing creativity and visual literacy into Higher Level Education? (2011)

Crotty, Yvonne

Abstract:

Eisner (1993) explained the need to extend the forms of representation in our understandings of educational research. This special issue of EJOLTs is intended to contribute to the knowledge-base generating a new understanding of the educational influences of educators who are using ICT in e-learning and values-based self-study to enhance their own and their students’ learning. In this introduction I show how the originality of my own contribution is in the relationally dynamic meanings of my value of responsibility for others. My value of responsibility for my students includes acknowledging safety, care, honesty, creativity, enjoyment and excellence. In this introduction I also point to the epistemological significance of clarifying these meanings in an e-Learning c curriculum in Higher Education. In this paper I will discuss what I mean by visual narratives. I will show how my learning in school and Higher Education has shaped my teaching. I will explain the importance of emoti...

TRECVid semantic indexing of video: a 6-year retrospective (2016)

Awad, George M.; Snoek, Cees G.M.; Smeaton, Alan F.; Quénot, Georges

Abstract:

Semantic indexing, or assigning semantic tags to video samples, is a key component for content-based access to video documents and collections. The Semantic Indexing task has been run at TRECVid from 2010 to 2015 with the support of NIST and the Quaero project. As with the previous High-Level Feature detection task which ran from 2002 to 2009, the semantic indexing task aims at evaluating methods and systems for detecting visual, auditory or multi-modal concepts in video shots. In addition to the main semantic indexing task, four secondary tasks were proposed namely the “localization” task, the “concept pair” task, the “no annotation” task, and the “progress” task. It attracted over 40 research teams during its running period. The task was conducted using a total of 1,400 hours of video data drawn from Internet Archive videos with Creative Commons licenses gathered by NIST. 200 hours of new test data was made available each year plus 200 more as development data in 2010. The number ...

Wagnervideo (2011)

Morris, Christopher

Abstract:

If critics are to be believed, the use of video on the theatrical stage had become something of a fad by the early years of the new millennium. "Multimedia," wrote Lyn Gardner in the Guardian, "is a word I've come to dread in the theatre. There was a period around five years ago when you could hardly step inside a theatre to see a new play without encountering a bank of video monitors." Diedrich Diederichsen recounts the similarly exasperated tone of a Berlin critic, who wrote in December 2003 of her wish for the coming year that the Berlin Volksbuhne might resist using video projections just once. Opera, meanwhile, has been no stranger to this fascination with video. Toronto critic Peter Goddard recently wrote of "opera's video projection fetish," quoting director Astrid Janson on the "fashionable" use of "large projections, particularly in Wagner."
