Abstract
In video streaming applications, people usually rely on the traditional VCR functionalities to reach segments of interest. However, in many situations, the focus of the people are particular objects. Video object (VO) hyper-linking, i.e., the creation of non-sequential links between video segments where an object of interest appears, constitutes a highly desirable browsing feature that extends the traditional video structure representation. In this paper we present an approach for VO hyper-linking generation based on video structuring, definition of objects of interest, and automatic object localization in the video structure. We also discussed its use in a video streaming platform to provide objectbased VCR functionalities.
