      Video analysis including classification, segmentation or tagging is one of the most challenging but also interesting topics multimedia research currently try to tackle. This is often related to videos from surveillance cameras or social media. In the last years, also medical institutions produce more and more video and image content. Some areas of medical image analysis, like radiology or brain ...
    • Efficient disease detection in gastrointestinal videos – global features versus neural networks 

      Pogorelov, Konstantin; Riegler, Michael; Eskeland, Sigrun Losada; de Lange, Thomas; Johansen, Dag; Griwodz, Carsten; Schmidt, Peter Thelin; Halvorsen, Pål (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-07-19)
      Analysis of medical videos from the human gastrointestinal (GI) tract for detection and localization of abnormalities like lesions and diseases requires both high precision and recall. Additionally, it is important to support efficient, real-time processing for live feedback during (i) standard colonoscopies and (ii) scalability for massive population-based screening, which we conjecture can be done ...
    • Efficient live and on-demand tiled HEVC 360 VR video streaming 

      Jeppsson, Mattis; Espeland, Håvard; Kupka, Tomas; Langseth, Ragnar; Petlund, Andreas; Peng, Qiaoqiao; Xue, Chuansong; Johansen, Dag; Pogorelov, Konstantin; Stensland, Håkon Kvale; Griwodz, Carsten; Riegler, Michael; Halvorsen, Pål (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      360∘ panorama video displayed through Virtual Reality (VR) glasses or large screens offers immersive user experiences, but as such technology becomes commonplace, the need for efficient streaming methods of such high-bitrate videos arises. In this respect, the attention that 360∘ panorama video has received lately is huge. Many methods have already been proposed, and in this paper, we shed more light ...
    • HyperKvasir, a comprehensive multi-class image and video dataset for gastrointestinal endoscopy 

      Borgli, Hanna; Thambawita, Vajira; Smedsrud, Pia H; Hicks, Steven; Jha, Debesh; Eskeland, Sigrun Losada; Randel, Kristin Ranheim; Pogorelov, Konstantin; Lux, Mathias; Dang Nguyen, Duc Tien; Johansen, Dag; Griwodz, Carsten; Stensland, Håkon Kvale; Garcia-Ceja, Enrique; Schmidt, Peter T; Hammer, Hugo Lewi; Riegler, Michael; Halvorsen, Pål; de Lange, Thomas (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-28)
      Artificial intelligence is currently a hot topic in medicine. However, medical data is often sparse and hard to obtain due to legal restrictions and lack of medical personnel for the cumbersome and tedious process to manually label training data. These constraints make it difficult to develop systems for automatic analysis, like detecting disease or other lesions. In this respect, this article ...
    • The Nornir run-time system for parallel programs using Kahn process networks on multi-core machines – A flexible alternative to MapReduce

    • The Nornir run-time system for parallel programs using Kahn process networks on multi-core machines-a flexible alternative to MapReduce 

      Vrba, Zeljko; Halvorsen, Pål; Griwodz, Carsten; Beskow, Paul; Espeland, Håvard; Johansen, Dag (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      Even though shared-memory concurrency is a paradigm frequently used for developing parallel applications on small- and middle-sized machines, experience has shown that it is hard to use. This is largely caused by synchronization primitives which are low-level, inherently non-deterministic, and, consequently, non-intuitive to use. In this paper, we present the Nornir run-time system. Nornir is ...
    • Search-based composition, streaming and playback of video archive content 

      Johansen, Dag; Halvorsen, Pål; Johansen, Håvard; Riiser, Haakon; Gurrin, Cathal; Olstad, Bjørn; Griwodz, Carsten; Kvalnes, Åge; Hurley, Joseph; Kupka, Tomas (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      Locating content in existing video archives is both a time and bandwidth consuming process since users might have to download and manually watch large portions of superfluous videos. In this paper, we present two novel prototypes using an Internet based video composition and streaming system with a keyword-based search interface that collects, converts, analyses, indexes, and ranks video content. ...
