摘要： A method for presentation of information of a recorded television program for allowing user to seize easily and quickly content/composition thereof, and an easily manipulable interface therefor. Picture signal of a television program currently being recorded by a VTR or the like is converted into a frame-based picture signal. Frames indicating inter-shot transitions are detected and stored as shot-representative pictures for thereby generating a digest picture file composed of a set of the shot-representative pictures substantially simultaneously with recording operation of the VTR. In a digest picture display, the shot-representative pictures are displayed in a temporally sequential order in which they were generated in such a form that a predetermined number of shot-representative pictures are displayed in each of predetermined time zones in a uniform array, for facilitating comprehension of the contents of the television picture as recorded. Additionally, by selecting one of the shot-representative pictures being displayed a temporal position of the television picture from which reproduction is to be started can visually be determined.

摘要： There is provided a video retrieval method, and apparatus, capable of fast matching a feature of a target video with a feature of an enquiry video without conducting work of providing keywords for video retrieval. As for the target video, both a video which is being broadcasted and a video included in a data base can be dealt with. A retrieval method includes the steps of providing a representative frame image specified by a user with a code or a code string as a name thereof, and registering beforehand code strings of a plurality of representative frame images as enquiry video names; inputting a target video; extracting a representative frame image from the video; calculating one feature or a plurality of features from a whole or a part of the frame image; assigning a corresponding code to the feature or each of the features; providing the frame image with the code or a code string arranged in a predetermined order as a name thereof, and producing a video name for the video in a form of a frame name string corresponding to a string of the frames; and matching the enquiry video names with the video name by using the frame name string and outputting a result.

摘要： Video picture access method and system capable of index manipulation for accessing a video picture without disturbing a user viewing the picture. Visual effect for allowing the user to check instantaneously whether the index manipulation conforms to user's intention. List display unit displays in superposition on a video picture a list containing reduced-size representative images for scenes included in the picture. Exhibition unit makes into appearance a display field of the list while extending stepwise the list over a time. User interface enables selection of a representative image of a scene to be next displayed from the list. Video reproducing unit provides such visual effect that reproduction of a video picture for the selected scene is started from the position of the selected image and a size thereof and makes transition gradually to a full screen picture.

摘要： For image recording/reproduction in a monitoring system, a monitoring image signal as inputted is converted into a plurality of time-serial digitized monitoring image frames to be stored temporarily in a first storage area. From the plurality of digitized monitoring image frames stored in the first storage area, a plurality of monitoring image frames relevant to at least one type of concerned event for monitoring are extracted to be stored in a second storage area. A monitored event database having a data structure comprised of elements each containing information concerning a storing location of relevant monitoring image frame in the second storage area and information concerning attributes of the relevant monitoring image frame for each of the monitoring image frames stored in the second storage area is generated to be stored in a third storage area. In response to a perusal request issued by user by using a WEB browser and sent via a network, the monitored event database is searched for acquiring a storing location of plural monitoring image frames relevant to the perusal request in the second storage area to thereby select from the second storage area a plurality of monitoring image frames relevant to the perusal request. The selected plural monitoring image frames are converted into HTML data to be sent to a display device connected via a network to be displayed on a display device in a two-dimensional layout or in the form of time-serial animation.

摘要： Only a video cut (containing a frame) designated by a user is automatically and correctly extracted directly from a video image under playing operation at high speed. A judgement is made as to whether or not the frame of the video image is designated by the user. When such a user designation is made, a detection is made of a change point in the video cut containing this designated frame (reverse playing direction, forward playing direction). Under such a condition that a frame image immediately before this change point is displayed, the playing operation of the video image is brought into a pause state. Accordingly, only the video cut desired by the user can be extracted during a single playing operation of the video image, and the video image can be edited in a high efficiency.

摘要翻译： 用户指定的视频剪辑（包含帧）只能在高速播放操作下直接从视频图像中直接提取。 判断视频图像的帧是否由用户指定。 当进行这样的用户指定时，检测包含该指定帧（反向播放方向，向前播放方向）的视频剪辑中的变化点。 在显示紧接在该变化点之前的帧图像的条件下，视频图像的播放操作进入暂停状态。 因此，可以在视频图像的单次播放操作期间仅提取用户期望的视频剪辑，并且可以高效率地编辑视频图像。
