Fast Video Completion Using Patch-based Synthesis and Image Registration

Research Abstract
Video completion has many applications in movie post-production, such as removing unwanted objects, artifacts, or logos. Most state-of-the-art video completion techniques are time-consuming in order to ensure spatial-temporal coherence. This paper presents a Fast Video Completion (FVC) technique that is based on patch-based synthesis and image registration. FVC generates key frames without the unwanted objects over the input video using a patch-based synthesis. The rest of the video completion process requires a low computing time using the registered prior frame. The results of the proposed technique show that FVC preserves the spatial-temporal coherence in an acceptable time, that makes the proposed technique is applicable for long videos.

Cut off Your Arm: A Medium-Cost System for Integrating a 3D Object with a Real Actor

Research Abstract
In the film industry, many tricks have been employed using the integration of a 3D object with a real actor. Usually, attaching a 3D object with a real actor is a costly process because of the usage of an expensive motion capture system. This paper presents a system using a medium-cost motion capture system and a chroma-keying technique for generating a video footage of an actor with an integrated 3D object (e.g. amputated arm). The result of the proposed system shows the attaching process of different 3D objects with a real actor who is combined with a new background scene in the same viewpoint.

Fast Efficient Clustering Algorithm for Balanced Data

Research Abstract
The Cluster analysis is a major technique for statistical analysis, machine learning, pattern recognition, data mining, image analysis and bioinformatics. K-means algorithm is one of the most important clustering algorithms. However, the k-means algorithm needs a large amount of computational time for handling large data sets. In this paper, we developed more efficient clustering algorithm to overcome this deficiency named Fast Balanced k-means (FBK-means). This algorithm is not only yields the best clustering results as in the k-means algorithm but also requires less computational time. The algorithm is working well in the case of balanced data.
