2 2 Six break points vs. six things in video Traditional video segmentation: Find breakpoints Example: MovieMaker (cut and paste) Our goal: Find possibly recurring scenes or objects 13242143232356 timeline REPRESENTATIVE FRAMES

3 3 Transformed hidden Markov model z T x c Class with prior P(c=k) = π k P(z|c) = N(z;μ c,Φ c ) x = Tz Ex = Tμ Var x = TΦT T p(x|c,T) = N(x; Tμ c, TΦ c T T ) Generation is repeated for each frame of the sequence, with the pair (T,c) being the state of a Markov chain. Translation T with uniform prior Latent image z Observed frame x

4 4 Goal: maximize total likelihood of a dataset log p(X) = log Σ {T,c} Σ z p(X,{T,c},Z) = log Σ {T,c} Σ z q({T,c},Z)p(X,{T,c},Z)/q({T,c},Z) Σ {T,c} Σ z q({T,c},Z)log p(X,{T,c},Z) - Σ {T,c} Σ z q({T,c},Z)log q({T,c},Z) = B We express q(T,c,z) = q({T,c}) * q(Z|{T,c}) {T,c} represents values of transformation and class for all frames, i.e., the path that the video sequence takes through the state space of the model. Instead of the likelihood, we optimize the bound B, which is tight for q=p({T,c},Z|X)

5 5 Posterior approximation We allow q({T,c}) to have a non-zero probability only on M most probable paths: q({T,c}) = Σ m=1:M r m δ({T,c} - {T,c} * m ) (Viterbi 1982) This reduces a number of problems with adaptive scaling in the exact forward-backward inference.

6 6 Expensive part of the E step Find quick way to calculate log p(x|c,T) = -N/2 log(2π) – ½ log|TΦ c T T | - ½ (x-Tμ c ) T (TΦ c T T ) -1 (x-Tμ c ) for all possible shifts T in the E step of EM algorithm Shifted cluster mean Tμ Frame x T log p

7 7 Computing Mahalanobis distance using FFTs = Σ.* T = sum x.*T μ Φ = IFFT FFT(x).* conj ( FFT ) x T (TΦT T ) -1 Tμ = x T T(Φ -1 μ) = x T T(diag Φ -1.* μ) All terms that have to be evaluated for all T can be expressed as correlations, e.g. : μ Φ (where summation is over pixels) N log N versus N 2 !

8 8 Parameter optimization F = Σ T Σ c Σ z q(T,c,z)log p(X,T,c,z) = Σ T Σ c Σ z q({T,c}) * q(z|{T,c}) x ( logπ {Tc} + Σ time log p(x t,z t |T t,c t ) + Σ time log p(c t+1 |c t ) log p(T t+1 |T t,c t ) ) Solve F/( )=0 for an estimated q.

9 9 On-line vs. batch EM Example: Update equation for the class mean Σ t Σ T q(T t,c t )E[z|x t,c t,T t ] = Σ t q(c t ) μ c t Batch EM: –solve for μ using all frames. –Inference and parameter optimization iterated. On-line EM: –rewrite the equation for one extra frame –establish the relationsip between μ (t+1) and μ (t). –Parameters updated after each frame. No need for iteration.

10 10 Reducing the complexity of the M step Σ T q(T t,c t )E[z|x t,c t,T t ] can be expressed as a sum of convolutions. For example, when there is no observation noise, E[z|x t,c t,T t ]= T t T x t, and Σ T q(T t,c t )E[z|x t,c t,T t ] = IFFT (FFT(q).* FFT(x)) (similar trick applies to variance estiamates)

11 11 Represent pixels on a polar grid! Shifts in the log-polar coordinates correspond to scale and rotation changes in the Cartesian coordiante system How to deal with scale and rotation? rotation scale

12 12 Estimating the number of classes The algorithm is initialized with a single class A new class is introduced whenever the frame likelihood drops bellow a threshold The classes can be merged in the end to achieve a more compact representation
