MPEG audio bitstream processing towards the automatic generation of sports programme summaries
نویسندگان
چکیده
The frequency subband scalefactors are fundamental components of MPEG-1 audio encoded bitstreams. Examination of scalefactor weights is sufficient for the establishment of an audio amplitude profile of an audio track. If, for sports programme TV broadcasts, the audio amplitude is assumed to primarily reflect the noise level exhibited by the commentator (and/or attending spectators), then, this vocal reaction to the significance of unfolding events may be used as a basis for summarisation. i.e. by relying on the exhilaration, or otherwise, expressed by the commentator/spectators, individual clips of the programme (e.g. camera shots), may be ranked according to their relative significance. A summary may then be produced by amalgamating (chronologically) any number of these clips corresponding to selected audio peaks.

Video Summarization Using MPEG-7 Motion Activity and Audio Descriptors
We present video summarization and indexing techniques using the MPEG-7 motion activity descriptor. The descriptor can be extracted in the compressed domain and is compact, and hence is easy to extract and match. We establish that the intensity of motion activity of a video shot is a direct indication of its summarizability. We describe video summarization techniques based on sampling in the cu...

متن کاملSpeech-Music Discrimination from MPEG-1 Bitstream
This paper describes a proposed algorithm for speech/music discrimination, which works on data directly taken from MPEG encoded bitstream thus avoiding the computationally difficult decoding-encoding process. The method is based on thresholding of features derived from the modulation envelope of the frequency-limited audio signal. The discriminator is tested on more than 2 hours of audio data, ...
متن کاملCombining MPEG Tools to Generate Video Summaries Adapted to the Terminal and Network
MPEG standards provide tools for a broad range of purposes, covering from coding to metadata description tools. In this paper, the combined use of tools from di erent MPEG standards is described in the context of a video summarization application. The main objective of the framework is the e cient generation of summaries, integrated with their adaptation to the user's terminal and network. The ...
متن کاملA syntactic framework for bitstream-level representation of audio-visual objects
We present the design of a novel syntactic and semantic framework to describe the bitstream-level representation of audio-visual information objects. This framework is important for emerging techniques in video compression, and is currently part of the MPEG-4 System Description Language Working Draft. The design is based on a principle of orthogonality between parsing and processing, i.e., sepa...
