Final Cut Pro X has literally rocked the film and video-editing world by completely re-imagining the inherent concepts of nonlinear editing. For many editors and users of the previous versions of Final Cut Pro, it is like starting anew and learning a brand-new program. Those experienced with previous versions of Final Cut and other non-linear editors such as iMovie, Adobe Premiere Pro, and Avid Media Composer already understand the basic concepts of editing and are now looking for a quick guide to getting started. In this useful, cut-to-the-chase guide to the program, popular trainer and Final Cut guru Larry Jordan takes these experienced users through all the components of the software, from importing footage and organizing media to export and sharing. Along the way, they’ll learn the best ways to edit footage and add transitions, effects, and filters, do basic color correcting, work with audio, and utilize a variety of HD workflow techniques, to name a few. Within a weekend, users will learn the best ways to start editing in this groundbreaking program in this must-have guide.

Object tracking could be a terribly difficult task within the presence of variability illumination condition, background motion, complicated object form, partial and full object occlusions. The main intention of an object trailer is to make the path of an object over time by characteristic its position in all frames of the video. This book is intended to educate the researchers in the field of tracking of moving object(s) in a video sequence. This book provides a path for the researchers to identify the works done by others in the same field and thereby to figure out the gap in the current knowledge. This book is organized into three Modules. Module 1 talks about the introduction of object detection and tracking. Module 2 discusses about the various studies of object tracking and motion detection. The views of the various authors about this hot research topic are discussed in this Module and Module 3 gives the conclusion of the entire research review.Object tracking could be a terribly difficult task within the presence of variability illumination condition, background motion, complicated object form, partial and full object occlusions.

Introduces object tracking algorithms from a unified, recursive Bayesian perspective, along with performance bounds and illustrative examples.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) equipped with video cameras are a flexible support to ensure civil and military safety and security. In this thesis, a video processing chain is presented for moving object detection in aerial video surveillance. A Track-Before-Detect (TBD) algorithm is applied to detect motion that is independent of the camera motion. Novel robust and fast object detection and segmentation approaches improve the baseline TBD and outperform current state-of-the-art methods.

The research on computer vision systems has been increasing every day and has led to the design of multiple types of these systems with innumerous applications in our daily life. The recent advances in artificial intelligence, together with the huge amount of digital visual data now available, have boosted vision system performance in several ways. Information extraction and visual object tracking are essential tasks in the field of computer vision with a huge number of real-world applications.This book is a result of research done by several researchers and professionals who have highly contributed to the field of image processing. It contains eight chapters divided into three sections. Section 1 consists of four chapters focusing on the problem of visual tracking. Section 2 includes three chapters focusing on information extraction from images. Finally, Section 3 includes one chapter that presents new advances in image sensors.
