Video Analysis and Summarization

In this research, we use the Wii remote controller developed by Nintendo as an input device. The Wii remote controller has many sensors and it can connect to a PC and a Wii using Bluetooth. One of the most discriminative sensors is the acceleration sensor. In addition, by using Wii MotionPlus, we can obtain angular velocity data. By these information, we can recognize the posture and trajectory of the Wii remote controller and correct the direction of acceleration by adjusting the posture.
