Innovative Anwendungen einer Bewegtbildanalyse

The analysis of image sequences in order to extract geometrical and motion information is a well known field in the area of computer vision. Especially in the fields of surveillance and quality assurance many different methods have been developed. The applied procedures can be classified in intensity and feature based methods. In addition a priori knowledge is incorporated quite often. The scope of different image analysis scenarios is shown, by describing a number of innovative applications in the field of medicine, traffic control, semi-automatically authoring especially to support interactive television, and a new videobased man-machine interface. Within a medical application a new technique to track deformable objects is introduced. In the field of traffic control, traffic data is catured for local and global traffic control. A semi automatically authoring builds the foundation for an efficient indexing, which shows great potential in the field of interactive digital television. Th e description of a video-based interaction shows another innovative scenario, which underlines the variety of image sequence analysis applications.
