Semantic Annotation and Transcoding for Sport Videos

Object and event detection for semantic annotation and transcoding

Video annotation provides a suitable way to describe, organize, and index stored videos. On the other hand, transcoding aims at adapting content to the user/client capabilities and requirements. Both cues are now mandatory, given the tremendous demand of multimedia access from remote clients, in particular nowadays that new terminals with limited resources (PDAs, HCCs, Smart phones) have access...

A Framework for Semantic Video Transcoding

Abstract. In this work we present a transcoding framework and an object-based technique to adapt live and stored videos to the user bandwidth and resources capabilities. Multiple transcoding policies are reviewed and a performance evaluation metric based on the Weighted Mean Square Error that allows different classes of relevance is presented. We present results for different transcoding polici...

Semantic Transcoding: Making the World Wide Web More Understandable and Usable with External Annotations

This paper proposes an easy and simple method for constructing a super-structure on the Web which provides current Web contents with new value and new means of use. The super-structure is based on external annotations to Web documents. We have developed a system for any user to annotate any element of any Web document with additional information. We have also developed a proxy that transcodes r...

Semantic Annotation of Sports Videos

consideration sports videos’ unique qualities, we propose a system that semantically annotates them at different layers of semantic significance, using different elements of visual content. We decompose each shot into its visual and graphic content elements and, by combining several different low-level visual primitives, capture semantic content at a higher level of significance. T he quantity ...
