As the popularity of digital videos increases, a large number illegal videos are
being generated and getting published. Video copies are generated by performing various
sorts of transformations on the original video data. For effectively identifying such illegal
videos, the image features that are invariant to various transformations must be extracted for
performing similarity matching. An image feature can be its local feature or global feature.
Among them, local features are powerful and have been applied in a wide variety of computer vision aplications .This paper focuses on various recently proposed local detectors and descriptors that are invariant to a number of image transformations.

Abstract:
The span of writer identification extends to broad
domes like digital rights administration, forensic expert decisionmaking
systems, and document analysis systems and so on. As the
success rate of a writer identification scheme is highly dependent
on the features extracted from the documents, the phase of
feature extraction and therefore selection is highly significant for
writer identification schemes. In this paper, the writer
identification in Malayalam language is sought for by utilizing
feature extraction technique such as Scale Invariant Features
Transform (SIFT).The schemes are tested on a test bed of 280
writers and performance evaluated

Abstract:
In recent years there is an apparent shift in research
from content based image retrieval (CBIR) to automatic
image annotation in order to bridge the gap between low level
features and high level semantics of images. Automatic Image
Annotation (AIA) techniques facilitate extraction of high level
semantic concepts from images by machine learning techniques.
Many AIA techniques use feature analysis as the first step to
identify the objects in the image. However, the high dimensional
image features make the performance of the system worse. This
paper describes and evaluates an automatic image annotation
framework which uses SURF descriptors to select right number
of features and right features for annotation. The proposed
framework uses a hybrid approach in which k-means clustering
is used in the training phase and fuzzy K-NN classification in
the annotation phase. The performance of the system is evaluated
using standard metrics.
This paper presents a Robust Content Based Video
Retrieval (CBVR) system. This system retrieves similar videos
based on a local feature descriptor called SURF (Speeded Up
Robust Feature). The higher dimensionality of SURF like
feature descriptors causes huge storage consumption during
indexing of video information. To achieve a dimensionality
reduction on the SURF feature descriptor, this system employs
a stochastic dimensionality reduction method and thus
provides a model data for the videos. On retrieval, the model
data of the test clip is classified to its similar videos using a
minimum distance classifier. The performance of this system is
evaluated using two different minimum distance classifiers
during the retrieval stage. The experimental analyses
performed on the system shows that the system has a retrieval
performance of 78%. This system also analyses the
performance efficiency of the low dimensional SURF
descriptor.

Abstract:
Detection of Objects in Video is a highly
demanding area of research. The Background Subtraction
Algorithms can yield better results in Foreground Object
Detection. This work presents a Hybrid CodeBook based
Background Subtraction to extract the foreground ROI from the
background. Codebooks are used to store compressed
information by demanding lesser memory usage and high speedy
processing. This Hybrid method which uses Block-Based and
Pixel-Based Codebooks provide efficient detection results; the
high speed processing capability of block based background
subtraction as well as high Precision Rate of pixel based
background subtraction are exploited to yield an efficient
Background Subtraction System. The Block stage produces a
coarse foreground area, which is then refined by the Pixel stage.
The system’s performance is evaluated with different block sizes
and with different block descriptors like 2D-DCT, FFT etc. The
Experimental analysis based on statistical measurements yields
precision, recall, similarity and F measure of the hybrid system
as 88.74%, 91.09%, 81.66% and 89.90% respectively, and thus
proves the efficiency of the novel system.
