21. Content selection (VI)
Face clustering
Which faces belong to the same person?
Which faces appear more often in the video?
Unsupervised Face Clustering problem:
1. Unknown number of characters
2. Unknown ground truth
Solution:
Iterative cluster estimation using LBPH
26. Content selection (XI)
Object detection
Relevant content is related to source video
Custom object map with:
1. Haar cascades
2. SURF descriptors matching
3. Deformable parts models
27. Content selection (XII)
Object detection
Haar cascade classifiers
Advantages:
- Quick object detection
- Training and detection stages included in OpenCV
Disadvantages:
- Fails at giving good results with different object views
- Slow training process
28. Content selection (XIII)
Object detection
SURF descriptors matching
Advantages:
- No additional training stage needed
- Scale and rotation invariant method
- Real-time object detection
- Descriptors extraction and matching strategy included in OpenCV
Disadvantages:
- Very specific training image
- Object may not be located in the image
29. Content selection (XIV)
Object detection
Deformable parts models
Advantages:
- Multiple object views detection
- Scored results
Disadvantages:
- Third party executable wrapped in Java
- Slow object detection process
