An Advanced A-V- Player to Support Scalable Personalised Interaction with Multi-Stream Video Content
Get PDFPhDCurrent Audio-Video (A-V) players are limited to pausing, resuming, selecting and
viewing a single video stream of a live broadcast event that is orchestrated by a
professional director. The main objective of this research is to investigate how to create a
new custom-built interactive A V player that enables viewers to personalise their own
orchestrated views of live events from multiple simultaneous camera streams, via
interacting with tracked moving objects, being able to zoom in and out of targeted
objects, and being able to switch views based upon detected incidents in specific camera
views. This involves research and development of a personalisation framework to create
and maintain user profiles that are acquired implicitly and explicitly and modelling how
this framework supports an evaluation of the effectiveness and usability of
personalisation.
Personalisation is considered from both an application oriented and a quality supervision
oriented perspective within the proposed framework. Personalisation models can be
individually or collaboratively linked with specific personalisation usage scenarios. The
quality of different personalised interaction in terms of explicit evaluative metrics such as
scalability and consistency can be monitored and measured using specific evaluation
mechanisms.European Union's

Personalising Live Sports Video Zooming
No full textAbstract-An innovative Internet streaming video player, called ePlayer, oriented to live events, has been researched, developed and evaluated. This supports a personalised zoomable user interface. The main novelty of the system is first that it is designed to optimise the zoomed video quality when viewing live events via adaptation of the streamed video quality across multivideo streams with a differing network quality of service. Second, it also personalises the live video zooming with respect to users' zooming preferences, easing the user interaction needed for the zooming task. The experimental results indicate that the system is not only able to zoom effectively but that it can also maintain the visual quality of the video at the same time. ePlayer is also able to infer a user's zooming preferences via dynamically clustering a user's zooming regions of interest when viewing live sports video content
