Web Based Demos at the MV Lab

Web Interface for Content Based Video Database Search. This is a preliminary interface to a search engine for retreiving video clips based on contents and actions. Most clips are of humans doing various actions. This research is sponsored by the National Science Foundation and the Army Research Office. Some details of the first year program are included here.
Researchers involved with this research: Prof. Jezekiel Ben-Arie and Prof. A. Prasad Sistla
You will need viewers for mpeg, quicktime and avi to actually view clips if you choose to download them after the search.
- For Unix: xanim is one of the most versatile viewers. It can be used to view all the file formats used here.
- For Windows: Xing MpegPlay for mpeg videos. Standard quicktime and avi players generally come installed in windows and files can be played using the Windows Mediaplayer.

An interactive GUI and details to compose human motion queries for search in video databases can be obtained here.
