Editing and post-production

Video editing and post-production are critical aspects in the audio-visual production process. The increased number of ways of “consuming” video content also highlight the need for content repurposing as well as for higher interaction and editing capabilities. Content captured at very high resolutions may need to be repurposed in order to be adapted to the requirements of actual users, to the transmission channel or to the terminal. Content repurposing encompasses format conversion (retargeting), content summarization, and content editing. This processing requires powerful methods for extracting condensed video representations as well as powerful inpainting techniques. By providing advanced models, advanced video processing and image analysis tools, more visual effects, with more realism become possible. Other applications such as video annotation/retrieval, video restoration/stabilization, augmented reality, can also benefit from the proposed research.
