LYU0501: Video Search Engine on Internet
MotivationSearching engine for web documents is popular and successful in commercial while video search engine is immature till now.Huge volumes of video data are rapidly produced daily which forms a very large potential business market. No successful commercial product yet.Even those from famous commercial companies such as Google, IBM, etc. still work poorly.
LYU0501: Video Search Engine on Internet
AbstractDesign and develop a platform for Web-based video search engine over the Internet.Video data collection: develop tools for crawling video data using different network protocols (like http/mms/rpt/bt/exeem)Video content analysis and retrieval: design and develop an open architecture to enable plug-ins of different searching algorithmsVideo data indexing: building efficient indexing for video data in the database
Searching on Internet
Video Data Collections

LYU0502: Museum Multilingual Guidance System (MGS) over 3G
Network
Prof. Michael R. LyuDepartment of Computer Science and
EngineeringThe Chinese University of Hong Kong
LYU0502: Museum Multilingual Guidance System over 3G
NetworkTraditional Museum multilingual guidance system is one-way information system
Visitors borrow the audio guide device and press a number to hear explanation of the exhibits
ConsHigh maintenance cost for the audio guide devicesContent update and management problemOne-way interaction
LYU0502: Museum Multilingual Guidance System over 3G
NetworkUsing visitor’s own 3G handset to connect the museum multilingual guidance system (MGS)The museum MGS is a content portal server running on 3G Telco machines, it is designed with
Content authoring and management interface for museum staff to update multilingual content Interactive 3G video information systemEvents notification to visitor via MMS or SMS Billing interface to 3G Telco accounting system

LYU0503: Mobile information Wallet (MIW) for Interactive
Games
Prof. Michael R. LyuDepartment of Computer Science and
EngineeringThe Chinese University of Hong Kong
LYU0503: Mobile Information Wallet for Interactive Games
In this project, students are required to design a system framework and develop programs to enable PocketPC and Smartphone into Mobile Information Wallet (MIW)Using the MIW, users can ‘copy & paste’ text, pictures, files from PC to mobile devices using bluetooth connections
For example, when browsing the Web, you can ‘copy & paste’ the restaurant address and phone number to the MIW, without pen or paper.Between two MIWs, information can be easily interchanged.
LYU0503: Mobile Information Wallet for Interactive Games
Students are required toDesign and implement the ‘copy & paste’ action on PC Define the format of a MIW message Understand the capability of different handheld devicesDevelop MIW software on different handheld devicesDevelop an interactive game based on the MIW messages
Research AreaBluetoothInter device connectivityNetwork securityInteractive games on mobile devices
Development PlatformMSWin, Windows Mobile 2003, Symbian, J2ME
Development LanguageVC++, Symbian C++, java
HardwarePC, PocketPC, Symbian phone, Smartphone

LYU0504: P2P Digital TV Recorder
Prof. Michael R. LyuDepartment of Computer Science and
EngineeringThe Chinese University of Hong Kong
LYU0504: P2P Digital TV Recorder
MotivationsWhy need to set recording schedule of your favorite TV program? I missed the last week’s program. Can I view it on demand? How about last month’s TV drama series?I want to share digital photos and videos with my buddy in Canada. Is there any easy way that he can retrieve them seamlessly?
LYU0504: P2P Digital TV Recorder
Previous questions can be answered by a ultimate large storage digital video recorder (DVR), recording all TV channel in 24 x 7 fashionMPEG-1 1 hour TV program = 600MBStorage requirement for 4 channels * 24 hours * 30 days * 600MB = 1.7TB
LYU0504: P2P Digital TV Recorder
How about decentralizing the central solution by inter-connecting many small digital video recorders with 100GB storage on Internet ? Each DVR record different parts of TV programsWith content replication factor set to 3, total storage requirement for one month is 5TB Number of DVRs is 5T / 100GB = 50
LYU0504: P2P Digital TV Recorder
Students are required to Conduct a feasibility study of the whole ideaDesign an effective content distribution/replication algorithm with bandwidth constraintsDesign a P2P on demand protocolDevelop a prototype program on WinXP Media Centre – HTPCDeploy the prototype at various locations for evaluation
