Abstract

Nowadays, interacting video contents with the mobile device is a prevalent activity. Generating and sharing the created digitalized stories through a video sharing social networking service is popular among people. Nonetheless, there is no distinctive approach for creating contents with the mobile devices; rather, it follows the traditional media production method. Besides, generating contents does not embrace the idea of utilizing mobile devices’ computing and communication abilities to generate a video content. In this paper, we propose EMVideo. EMVideo is a novel collaboration scheme for mobile devices to automatically edit video frames into a video. We believe that the proposed scheme can be utilized as an innovative application for digital storytelling.

Notes

  1. In this paper, the terminology of subject represents the person, animal or object that is being filmed or photographed.

  2. We utilized a laptop with a 3D camera as an Observer, since 3D data from the smartphone with a 3D camera was not accessible for computation.

  3. We employed Kinect for Microsoft’s Xbox 360.
