    摘要: A method segments a video. Audio frames of the video are classified with labels. Dominant labels are assigned to successive time intervals of consecutive labels. A semantic description is constructed for sliding time windows of the successive time intervals, in which the sliding time windows overlap in time, and the semantic description for each time window is a transition matrix determined from the dominant labels of the time intervals. A marker is determined from the transition matrices, in which a frequency of occurrence of the marker is between a low frequency threshold and a high frequency threshold. Then, the video is segmented at the locations of the markers.

    摘要: This invention relates to methods of feature extraction from MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 compressed video sequences. The spatio-temporal compression complexity of video sequences is evaluated for feature extraction by inspecting the compressed bitstream and the complexity is used as a descriptor of the spatio-temporal characteristics of the video sequence. The spatio-temporal compression complexity measure is used as a matching criterion and can also be used for absolute indexing. Feature extraction can be accomplished in conjunction with scene change detection techniques and the combination has reasonable accuracy and the advantage of high simplicity since it is based on entropy decoding of signals in compressed form and does not require computationally expensive inverse Discrete Cosine Transformation (DCT).

    摘要: A method describes motion activity in a video sequence. A motion activity matrix is determined for the video sequence. A threshold for the motion activity matrix is determined. Connected regions of motion vectors at least equal to the threshold are identified and measured for size. A histogram of the distribution of the sizes of the connected areas is constructed for the entire video sequence. The histogram is normalized to characterize the spatial distribution of the video sequence in a motion activity descriptor.

    摘要: A computer implemented method for automatically detecting and classifying acoustic signatures across a set of recording conditions is disclosed. A first acoustic signature is received. The first acoustic signature is projected into a space of a minimal set of exemplars of acoustic signature types derived from a larger set of exemplars using a wrapper method. At least one vector distance is calculated between the projected acoustic signature and each exemplar of the minimal set of exemplars. An exemplar is selected from the minimal set of exemplars having the smallest vector distance to the projected acoustic signature as a class corresponding to and classifying the first acoustic signature. The first acoustic signature and the plurality of acoustic signatures may correspond to one of gunshots, musical instruments, songs, and speech. The minimal set of exemplars may correspond to a hierarchy of acoustic signature types.

    摘要: A method and system for coordinated tracking of objects is disclosed. A plurality of images is received from a plurality of nodes, each node comprising at least one image capturing device. At least one target in the plurality of images is identified to produce at least one local track corresponding to each of the plurality of nodes having the at least one target in its field of view. The at least one local track corresponding to each of the plurality of nodes is fused according to a multi-hypothesis tracking method to produce at least one fused track corresponding to the at least one target. At least one of the plurality of nodes is assigned to track the at least one target based on minimizing at least one cost function comprising a cost matrix using the k-best algorithm for tracking at least one target for each of the plurality of nodes. The at least one fused track is sent to the at least one of the plurality of nodes assigned to track the at least one target based on the at least one fused track.

    摘要: A method classifies segments of a video using an audio signal of the video and a set of classes. Selected classes of the set are combined as a subset of important classes, the subset of important classes being important for a specific highlighting task, the remaining classes of the set are combined as a subset of other classes. The subset of important classes and classes are trained with training audio data to form a task specific classifier. Then, the audio signal can be classified using the task specific classifier as either important or other to identify highlights in the video corresponding to the specific highlighting task. The classified audio signal can be used to segment and summarize the video.
