A Video Browsing Application Based on Visual MPEG-7 Descriptors and Self-Organising Maps
نویسنده
چکیده
The paper introduces a novel approach for interactive video browsing that makes video content fully transparent to the user. Video clips are analysed and indexed by two tree structures: a content index tree representing the content of automatically segmented video shots and a time index tree representing the temporal structure. The index top levels give an overview over the entire content. Subsequent levels illustrate content relationships more detailed. Every level of both trees is a twodimensional self-organising map organising media objects by two degrees of freedom. Media objects are represented by content-based visual MPEG-7 descriptions. The implemented navigation scheme allows the user for switching between content index tree and time index tree without loosing the overview. Context information (position in the tree, content of next lower level, etc.) is permanently shown in auxiliary panels. The implementation is based on the scalable vector graphics standard (visualisation) and the MPEG-7 reference implementation. First evaluation results show that the proposed approach facilitates accessing video content in a novel way.

متن کاملMultimedia Content Filtering, Browsing, and Matching Using MPEG-7 Compact Color Descriptors
This paper presents two compact color feature descriptors that have been accepted to the working draft of MPEG-7, the ongoing activity to standardize multimedia content descriptions. The need for content description arises from the increase in the number of broadcast channels and the availability of a large number of video content over the Internet. Without such descriptions, the average consum...
متن کاملThe MPEG-7 visual standard for content description-an overview
The MPEG-7 Visual Standard under development specifies content-based descriptors that allow users or agents (or search engines) to measure similarity in images or video based on visual criteria, and can be used to efficiently identify, filter, or browse images or video based on visual content. More specifically, MPEG-7 specifies color, texture, object shape, global motion, or object motion feat...

Retrieval in current multimedia databases is usually limited to browsing and searching based on low-level visual features and explicit textual descriptors. Semantic aspects of visual information are mainly described in full text attributes or mapped onto specialized, application specific description schemes. Result lists of queries are commonly represented by textual descriptions and single key...

The ongoing MPEG-7 standard intends to provide a “Multimedia Content Description Interface.” In other words, it will provide a rich set of tools to describe content with a view to facilitating applications such as content based querying, browsing and searching of multimedia content. The MPEG-4 standard provides tools for compressing multimedia content at bitrates that are feasible with typical ...
