An Interactive Video System for Live Coverage Transmission using Real Time Video Hyperlinks

In this paper, we present a system developed for getting additional information from real time video hyperlinks within a live video. It is realized by introducing markers in the scene, which can be detected by the system itself. The primary advantage of the system is the generation of real time video hyperlinks by the video content itself. The system uses optical markers to link the additional information to the object of interest. Any retrieval of additional information is initialized by a user request. Finally, a first system prototype demonstrates the validity of this approach and shows the potential of this application.
