| Sumario: | Video editing and object recognition are two significant fields in computer vi- sion: the first has remarkably assisted digital production and post-production tasks of a digital video footage; the second is considered fundamental to image classification or image based search in large databases (e.g. the web). In this thesis, we address two problems, namely we present a novel formulation that tackles video editing tasks and we develop a mechanism that allows to generate more robust descriptors for objects in an image. Concerning the first problem, this thesis proposes two variational models to perform temporally coherent video editing. These models are applied to change an object’s (rigid or non-rigid) texture throughout a given video sequence. One model is based on propagating color information from a given frame (or be- tween two given frames) along the motion trajectories of the video; while the other is based on propagating gradient domain information. The models we present in this thesis require minimal user intervention and they automatically accommodate for illumination changes in the scene. Concerning the second problem, this thesis addresses the problem of affine invariance in object recognition. We introduce a way to generate geometric affine invariant quantities that are used in the construction of feature descrip- tors. We show that when these quantities are used they do indeed achieve a more robust recognition than the state of the art descriptors. i |
