Robust Shot Detection In A Video

US Patent:
7639873, Dec 29, 2009
Filed:
Jul 28, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/192216
Inventors:
Richard J. Qian - Sammamish WA, US
Assignee:
Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:
G06K 9/00
H04N 5/14
US Classification:
382168, 348700
Abstract:
Automatic detection of one or more segment boundaries in a video. An analysis window identifies a selected series of video frames of the video to analyze for segment boundaries. A property value is determined for each of the video frames in the series of video frames. A maximum difference of the differences of property values between adjacent frames is compared to a threshold median value and a ratio of the maximum difference to a determined mean of the differences of property values between adjacent frames is compared to an adaptive threshold value. A segment boundary is defined as a function of the comparisons.

Christopher Michael Hugill - Woodinville WA, US
Andrew D. Kutruff - Seattle WA, US
Michael J. Patten - Sammamish WA, US
Randolph Bruce Oakley - Bellevue WA, US
Richard J. Qian - Sammamish WA, US
Assignee:

Image Resizing For Web-Based Image Search

US Patent:
8081842, Dec 20, 2011
Filed:
Apr 30, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/113007
Inventors:
Yan Lu - Beijing, CN
Feng Wu - Beijing, CN
Richard Qian - Sammamish WA, US
Heung-Yeung Shum - Beijing, CN
Assignee:
Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:
G06K 9/32
G06K 9/46
G06F 15/00
G09G 5/00
US Classification:
382288, 382240, 358 12, 345660
Abstract:
Image resizing for web-based searching is described. In one implementation, a system resizes a user-selected thumbnail image into a larger version of the image that emulates the quality of a large, original image, but without downloading the original image. First, the system extracts resizing parameters when each thumbnail image is created. Then, the system creates a codebook of primitive visual elements extracted from a collection of training images. The primitive visual elements in the codebook provide universal visual parts for reconstructing images. The codebook and a resizing plug-in can be sent once to the user over a background channel. When the user selects a thumbnail image for enlargement, the system resizes the thumbnail image via interpolation and then refines the enlarged image with primitive visual elements from the codebook. The refinement creates an enlarged image that emulates the quality of the large, original image, without downloading the original image.

Forming A Representation Of A Video Item And Use Thereof

US Patent:
8503523, Aug 6, 2013
Filed:
Jun 29, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/772101
Inventors:
Hugh E. Williams - Remond WA, US
Xian-Sheng Hua - Beijing, CN
Hong-Qiao Li - Beijing, CN
Xiaodong Fan - Bellevue WA, US
Richard Qian - Sammamish WA, US
Assignee:
Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:
H04N 7/12
US Classification:
37524008, 37524009, 3752401
Abstract:
Functionality is described for forming a summary representation of a video item to help a user decide whether to obtain a full version of the video item. The functionality operates by: (a) receiving a video item; (b) dividing the video item into a plurality of segments; (c) extracting at least one key frame from each of the plurality of segments to form a plurality of key frames; and (d) organizing the video segments into one or more groups corresponding to one or more respective scenes based on the plurality of key frames, to thereby form the representation of the video item. The functionality can be used to communicate search results to a user, to provide a sample of the video item in a message, etc.

Link Discovery From Web Scripts

US Patent:
8572065, Oct 29, 2013
Filed:
Nov 9, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/937751
Inventors:
Kieran Richard McDonald - Seattle WA, US
Srinath Reddy Aaleti - Redmond WA, US
Richard J. Qian - Sammamish WA, US
Assignee:
Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:
G06F 7/00
US Classification:
707708, 707709, 707736, 707769, 709217
Abstract:
A computer-implemented method, a computer system, and computer media for discovering links in scripts are provided. The computer system includes a crawler, a rules engine, and an index that are utilized to store links generated by scripts located in webpages in the index. The crawler traverses a network to locate webpages having scripts. The rules engine parses the located webpages and extracts the scripts based on rules that are satisfied by segments of the extracted scripts. The rules engine evaluates the segments of the extracted scripts to generate links. After the rules engine validates the links, the rules engine transmits the links to the index for storage.
