studing details

Now, we started to understand more details about techniques to be used in the implementation. the main aim from this step is to construct a strong design based on what is available to be used.
we search in many points such as: converting video into frames, gathering frames to get the video again, capturing a specific frame, remove a specific frame, and how to track an object along the frames.
for more details contact: engineer_saso@yahoo.co.uk or ka.nabil@yahoo.com
We find also a helpful materials for summarizing videos.

VideoSurgeon is participating in ICT

VideoSurgeon is participating in ICT event. We were accepted by the MIE "Made In Egypt" organizers to show our project in this important event.
ICT is held on Cairo International Conference Center (CICC) from February 24, 2008 to February 27, 2008, every day from 10:00 Am to 8:00 Pm.
Hope for VideoSurgeon to gain a lot of the event's guests.

Another phase completed

After finishing the initiation phase for VideoSurgeon, planning phase was completed.
In the planning phase, a full time plan was put till the first week of July, 2008. It is planned to complete the VideoSurgeon tool max at July, 15 2008.
Requirement specification phase was also completed. Many thing were determined in this phase, such as: the functional requirements, limitations, constraints, VideoSurgeon' s features and its scenarios.
Now, a detailed investigation is done for the used techniques to construct a strong tool

Alexandria day

On February 2, 2008, two of our group went to present our project on Alexandria, on Alex library.
it was a good chance to get feedback and comments on the project. Responses were good enough to make us happy :)

First phase completed

Now, we finished the Initiation phase for our project. This phase contains problem definition, project description, project scope, vision, mission and investigation.
we almost finished the planning phase also (around 70% is completed). we created a Work Break down Structure (WBS) so that we control our time correctly.
we will finish our WBS first, and thus planning phase is completed. we will then start on the requirement specification phase trying to finish it on at most one week

VideoSurgeon is competing....let the show begin

VideoSurgeon is a software editing tool. the project is our graduation project from Cairo University, Faculty Of Engineering, Computer Engineering Department.
VideoSurgeon tool is participating in MIE "Made In Egypt"competition which aims to decrease the gab between business world and university education.
we succeeded to get ITWORX and IBM companies as sponsors.
we got rank one in ITWORX classification for the presented projects. we are trying to get support as much as we can to be able to finish the project at most on the first week of July,2008

?what is this about

object removal is one of the key technique in video editing.
:our project is a video editing tool that enables some feature like
1. extracting or removing objects from video
2. extracting specific frames from the video and gather them in a new video
3. frame based summarizing
these features enables us to remove any unwanted feature in videos
