ABSTRACT
Digital video not only enables convergence of telecommunications, 
computer, broadcasting, and entertainment 
industries but also leads to a paradigm shift in how we 
capture/industries but also leads to a paradigm shift in how we 
capture/compose, compress, manipulate, and access video for 
interactive services. Conventional (analog) video is frame-based where 
the composition and script is fixed at the time 
of recording which limits  our interaction with natural video. Digital 
video allowslimits  our interaction with natural video. Digital video 
allows recording and  compression of video 
objects separately (in time and place) and then  composition of frames 
for viewing at the decoder after manipulation 
according  to a downloaded customized script or interactively. 
Object-based video also enables combid script or interactively. 
Object-based video also enables combination of synthetic 
scenes or objects with natural scenes or objects; manipulation of the 
content of video objects; hyperlinking text or  
graphics overlays with video objects; temporal random access to video 
objects;  and object-based multimedia access fm access to video objects;  
and object-based multimedia access for 
indexing, querying and browsing. This talk will overview the emerging 
object-based video compression, manipulation, 
and access technologies; and introduce 2-D and 3-D object-based  
forward-tracking mesh representations. 

BIOGRAPHY A. Murat Tekalp received M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical, 
Computer and Systems Engineering 
from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), Troy, NY, in 1982 and 1984, 
respectively. From Dec. 1984 to Aug. 
1987, he was a research scientist, and then a senior research  scientist 
at Eastman Kodak Company, Rochester, NY. He 
joined the Electrical Engineering Dept. at the University of Rocjoined 
the Electrical Engineering Dept. at the University of Rochester,  
Rochester, NY, as an assistant professor in Sep. 
1987, where he is currently a professor. His current research interests 
are in the areas of digital image and video 
processing, including image restoration, motion analysis, 
object-tracking, modeluding image restoration, motion analysis, 
object-tracking, model-based coding, 3-D video, automatic 
image annotation and retrieval, and magnetic resonance imaging. Dr. 
Tekalp is a senior member of IEEE, and a 
member of Sigma Xi. He received  the NSF Research Initiation Award in 
1988, and an IEEE Region 1 Award in 199arch Initiation Award in 1988, and 
an IEEE Region 1 Award in 1995.  
He served as an Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Signal 
Processing (1990-1992). He also served as the 
Technical Program Chair for the 1991 IEEE MDSP Workshop and the Special 
Sessions Chair for 1995 IEEE Intl. 
Conf. on Image Processing.  Sessions Chair for 1995 IEEE Intl. 
Conf. on Image Processing. He has been the organizer and first Chairman 
of the Rochester Chapter of the IEEE Signal 
Processing Society. He was elected as the Chair of the IEEE Rochester 
Section in 1994-1995. At present, he is the 
Chair of the IEEE Signal Processing Society Technic, he is the 
Chair of the IEEE Signal Processing Society Technical  Committee on Image 
and Multidimensional Signal Processing; 
and an Associate  Editor for IEEE Trans. on Image Processing. He is also 
on the Editorial Boards of Academic Journal 
on Graphical Models and Image Processing and Academic Journal on Visual 
Coal Models and Image Processing and Academic Journal on Visual 
Communications and Image Representation. 
He is the author of  the Prentice-Hall book Digital Video Processing.
