摘要:
A viewing surveillance system which make it possible to carry out the viewing surveillance independently from the broadcasting form like analog broadcasting or digital broadcasting. The viewing surveillance system also make it possible to carry out the viewing surveillance without any restriction set to viewers or any burden to the broadcast stations. The image feature data generating unit 12 receives a picture signal from the image viewing terminal 50, and generates the image feature data which represents a feature of the image from the picture signal. The image information transmitting unit 13 transmits the image feature data generated by the image feature data generating unit 12 to the viewing surveillance server 2. On the other hand, the image feature data generating units 21a to 21c also generates the image feature data based on the broadcasted programs and stores the image feature data in the program image feature data storing unit 22. The viewing program specifying unit 23 specifies the viewed program by matching the image feature data received from the image information transmitting unit 13 and the image feature data stored in the program image feature data storing unit 22.

Information relating to content such as a broadcast program is collected from a wide range of sources. Upon input of content-identifying information, which is information specifying content, a content-affiliated information acquisition unit (2) acquires content-affiliated information, which is information that is affiliated to the content indicated by the content-identifying information, from sources such as EPG. A content-related text group collection unit (3), based on the content-affiliated information, collects content-related text groups, which are text groups that relate to the content, from text group information sources (1) that store text groups relating to various content, examples of these text group information sources (1) including electronic bulletin boards and home pages connected to the Internet.

The image signature extraction device includes an image signature generation unit and an encoding unit. The image signature generation unit extracts region features from respective sub-regions in an image in accordance with a plurality of pairs of sub-regions in the image, the pairs of sub-regions including at least one pair of sub-regions in which both a combination of shapes of two sub-regions of the pair and a relative position between the two sub-regions of the pair differ from those of at least one of other pairs of sub-regions, and based on the extracted region features of the respective sub-regions, generates an image signature to be used for identifying the image. The encoding unit encodes the image signature.

The video descriptor generation device includes a first extraction unit, a second extraction unit, and a feature combining unit. The first extraction unit extracts a first feature for each picture which is a frame or a field of a video. The second extraction unit extracts a second feature from a region defined by an edge of an image included in the video. The feature combining unit combines the first feature and the second feature to generate a video descriptor.

The present invention is to notify a recognition result with respect to a recognition object in a video in real time while maintaining recognition accuracy. A recognition object and m-number of first local characteristic quantities which are respectively 1-dimensional to i-dimensional characteristic vectors are stored in association with each other, and n-number of second local characteristic quantities which are respectively 1-dimensional to j-dimensional characteristic vectors are generated for n-number of local areas respectively including n-number of characteristic points from an image in a video. In addition, a smaller dimension is selected from the dimension i and the dimension j, a recognition that the recognition object exists in an image in the video is made when it is determined that a prescribed proportion or more of the m-number of first local characteristic quantities which are characteristic vectors up to the selected number of dimensions correspond to the n-number of second local characteristic quantities which are characteristic vectors up to the selected number of dimensions, and information representing the recognition object is displayed in superposition on an image in which the recognition object exists in the video.

The image signature extraction device includes an extraction unit and a generation unit. The extraction unit extracts region features from respective sub-regions in an image in accordance with a plurality of pairs of sub-regions in the image, the pairs of sub-regions including at least one pair of sub-regions in which both a combination of shapes of two sub-regions of the pair and a relative position between the two sub-regions of the pair differ from those of at least one of other pairs of sub-regions, and being classified into a plurality of types based on a combination of shapes of two sub-regions and a relative position between the two sub-regions of each of the pairs. The generation unit generates an image signature to be used for identifying the image based on the extracted region features of the respective sub-regions.

The size of a feature descriptor is reduced, with the accuracy of object identification maintained. A local feature descriptor extracting apparatus includes a feature point detecting unit configured to detect a plurality of feature points in an image and output feature point information that is information on each of the feature points, a feature point selecting unit configured to select the predetermined number of feature points from the detected plurality of feature points in order of decreasing importance based on the feature point information, and a local feature descriptor generating unit configured to generate a local feature descriptor that is a feature descriptor in a local region for each of the selected feature points.
摘要:
The present invention enables detection of a local differing region between images. Inter-image difference information indicating a difference in feature amounts for each subregion between first and second images is generated based on a first feature amount vector that is a set of feature amounts respectively corresponding to a plurality of subregions in the first image and a second feature amount vector that is a set of feature amounts respectively corresponding to a plurality of subregions in the second image, a differing region that is an image region that differs between the first and second images is detected based on differences in the respective subregions indicated by the inter-image difference information, and detection information that indicates a result of the detection is outputted.

The video descriptor generation device includes an each-picture feature extraction unit which extracts a feature from a video for each picture which is a frame or a field, and outputs an each-picture feature; an inter-picture feature difference calculation unit which calculates an inter-picture feature difference, which is a difference between features of pictures, from the each-picture features as a difference feature, and calculates a difference feature information amount indicating an amount of information of the difference feature; an additional feature extraction unit which calculates a feature to be added as an additional feature from the video; and a feature combining unit which, if the volume of the difference feature information amount is smaller than a certain criterion, constitutes a video descriptor by incorporating the additional feature in addition to the difference feature.
