ANALYZING INVARIANCE OF FREQUENCY DOMAIN BASED FEATURES FROM VIDEOS WITH REPEATING MOTION

Kahraman Ayyildiz, Stefan Conrad

Abstract

This paper discusses an approach, which allows classifying videos by frequency spectra. Many videos contain activities with repeating movements. Sports videos, home improvement videos, or videos showing mechanical motion are some example areas. Motion of these areas usually repeats with a certain main frequency and several side frequencies. Transforming repeating motion to its frequency domain via FFT reveals these frequency features. In this paper we explain how to compute frequency features for video clips and how to use them for classifying. The experimental stage of this work focuses on the invariance of these features with respect to rotation, reflection, scaling, translation and time shift.
