REIHE INFORMATIK TR-04-008 Automatic Generation of Video Summaries for Historical Films
نویسندگان
چکیده
A video summary is a sequence of video clips extracted from a longer video. Much shorter than the original, the summary preserves its essential messages. In the project ECHO (European Chronicles On-line) a system was developed to store and manage large collections of historical films for the preservation of cultural heritage. At the University of Mannheim we have developed the video summarization component of the ECHO system. In this paper we discuss the particular challenges the historical film material poses, and how we have designed new video processing algorithms and modified existing ones to cope with noisy black-and-white films. We also report empirical results from the use of our summarization tool at the four major European national video archives.

REIHE INFORMATIK 6/95 Automatic Recognition of Film Genres
Film genres in digital video can be detected automatically. In a three-step approach we analyze first the syntactic properties of digital films: color statistics, cut detection, camera motion, object motion and audio. In a second step we use these statistics to derive at a more abstract level film style attributes such as camera panning and zooming, speech and music. These are distinguishing pr...

Presented is an algorithm for automatic production of a video abstract of a feature film, similar to a movie trailer. It selects clips from the original movie based on detection of special events like dialogs, shots, explosions and text occurrences, and on general action indicators applied to scenes. These clips are then assembled to form a video trailer using a model of editing. Additional cli...

In networks there are basically two methods to tackle the problem of erroneous packets: Automatic Repeat Requests (ARQ) and Forward Error Correction (FEC). While ARQ means packet retransmissions, FEC uses additional bits to detect and correct distorted data. However, extensive field test of our sensor nodes have shown that FEC can take effect only as long as both sender and receiver are bit-wis...

Efficient indexing and retrieval of digital video is an important function of video databases. One powerful index for retrieval is the text appearing in them. It enables contentbased browsing. We present our methods for automatic segmentation of text in digital videos. The output is directly passed to a standard OCR software package in order to translate the segmented text into ASCII. The algor...
