LIG at MediaEval 2011 affect task: use of a generic method

This paper describes the LIG participation to the MediaEval 2011 Affect Task on violent scenes’ detection in Hollywood movies. We submitted only the required run (shot classification run) with a minimal system using only the visual information. Color, texture and SIFT descriptors were extracted from key frames. The performance of our system was below the performance of the systems using both audio and visual information but it appeared quite good in precision.
