Creating a prototype for VideoSurgeon

Our aim now is to create a prototype for Videosurgeon. This prototype includes opening video, convert it into frames (images), pause at any time and select an object and gather the frames again into a new video.
This prototype is helpful to know if the design is correct or not and if the available materials is enough or we need to investigate more.

More image processing algorithms :)

In the stage of studying the project in more details, we got that we will use not a small number of algorithms to implement it.
dealing with videos is not easy like images. we first convert the video into frames, then use the livewire technology to get the targeted object. We then use tracking algorithms and object detection algorithms to get the object in all frames. Then a background completion and filling algoriths to complent the removed object's place.
the total number of used algorithms exceeds 10 algorithms. The aim is to get correct, accurate and fast results, so we take time to study every algorithm in details.

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.

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
