Key-text spotting in documentary videos using Adaboost
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a method for spotting key-text in videos, based on a cascade of classifiers trained with Adaboost. The video is first reduced to a set of key-frames. Each key-frame is then analyzed for its text content. Text spotting is performed by scanning the image with a variable-size window (to account for scale) within which simple features (mean/variance of grayscale values and x/y derivatives) are extracted in various sub-areas. Training builds classifiers using the most discriminant spatial combinations of features for text detection. The text-spotting module outputs a decision map of the size of the input key-frame showing regions of interest that may contain text suitable for recognition by an OCR system. Performance is measured against a dataset of 147 key-frames extracted from 22 documentary films of the National Film Board (NFB) of Canada. A detection rate of 97% is obtained with relatively few false alarms.

Date-field retrieval in scene image and video frames using text enhancement and shape coding
Text recognition in scene image and video frames is difficult because of low resolution, blur, background noise, etc. Since traditional OCRs do not perform well in such images, information retrieval using keywords could be an alternative way to index/retrieve such text information. Date is a useful piece of information which has various applications including date-wise videos/scene searching, i...
متن کاملAn Improved Flower Pollination Algorithm with AdaBoost Algorithm for Feature Selection in Text Documents Classification
In recent years, production of text documents has seen an exponential growth, which is the reason why their proper classification seems necessary for better access. One of the main problems of classifying text documents is working in high-dimensional feature space. Feature Selection (FS) is one of the ways to reduce the number of text attributes. So, working with a great bulk of the feature spa...
متن کاملWhat's Cookin'? Interpreting Cooking Videos using Text, Speech and Vision
We present a novel method for aligning a sequence of instructions to a video of someone carrying out a task. In particular, we focus on the cooking domain, where the instructions correspond to the recipe. Our technique relies on an HMM to align the recipe steps to the (automatically generated) speech transcript. We then refine this alignment using a state-of-the-art visual food detector, based ...

There is an increasing interests in micro-expression researches. Spotting micro-expressions in long-term videos is very important, not only for providing clues for lie detection, but also for reducing the labor required to collect micro-expression data. However, little progress has been made in spotting micro-expressions. In this paper, we propose a Main Directional Maximal Difference (MDMD) An...
