A method and apparatus for creating edit effects on compressed video data is disclosed. First, an edit point is selected. Two anchor pictures on each side of the edit point are then selected. A series of frames is created to create an edit transition at the edit point. The series of frames can be B-picture frames, I-picture frames, or B-picture frames which contain Intra-coded macroblocks.

A method of detecting a shot-cut in a sequence of video images on basis of a first set of segments (S1n-1, S2n-1, S3n-1 and S41-1) and a second set of segments (S1n, S2n, S3n and S4n) being determined by means of segmentation, comprises: creating a third set of segments (S1n, S2n-1, S3n-1 and S4n-1) on basis of the first set of segments (S1n-1, S2n-1, S3n-1 and S4n-1); computing a consistency measure C(n-1, n) on basis of a number of values representing overlap (A,ij) between respective pairs of segments, each pair off segments comprising one of the segments (Sjn-1) of the third set of segments and one of the segments (Sin) of the second set of segments; and comparing the consistency measure (C(n-1, n)) with a predetermined threshold (Tc,) and establishing that the shot-cut is detected if the consistency measure (C(n-1, n)) is below the predetermined threshold (Tc).

The invention relates to a method for recording content on a record medium (2) that contains a desired content descriptor (3), comprising the steps of reading said desired content descriptor (3) from said record medium (2), scanning the content (10, 12) of at least one multimedia source (6, 7) for desired content that matches said desired content descriptor (3), and recording said desired content on said record medium (3). Said record medium (2) is preferably a Digital Versatile Disc (DVD), said desired content descriptor (3) is preferably a keyword contained in a blank of said DVD, and said at least one multimedia source (6, 7) is preferably a television receiver. The DVD with the keyword contained therein thus triggers the recording of content from the television receiver that matches said keyword on said DVD. The invention further relates to a computer program product, a device and a record medium.

A device for recording records digitally encoded video information on a record carrier according to a predefined recording format, such as DVD+RW. The device has a unit for gathering meta-data which describes parameters of the real-time information, and records the meta-data. The record carrier has to be compatible to existing recording devices which are not aware of the meta-data. Thereto the device has control means for recording the meta-data in at least one hidden location of the record carrier which hidden location is not or less likely accessible for storing data according to the predefined recording format.

The invention relates to a system (101) for content analysis. The system (101) comprises an interface receiving a video signal in accordance with a first encoding standard, such as H.264. The interface is coupled to an extraction processor (107) which extracts video coding data from the video signal. The video coding data is fed to a conversion processor (109) which converts the video coding data to video coding data according to a second video encoding standard, such as MPEG-2. The conversion converts the extracted video data to video coding data related to a common encoding block size, for example, by grouping smaller blocks and averaging the video parameters to provide video coding parameters related to larger block sizes. The converted data is fed to a content analysis processor (111) which performs content analysis based on the converted data. A content analysis algorithm for one video encoding standard may thus be used for a different video encoding standard.

An apparatus for playing video content includes a play means (100) for playing video content. The video content includes overlapping scenes (621, 622, 641, 642, 661, 662, 681, 682), with each scene having an associated scene signature. A scene hopping selector (44) is operative while the play means (100) is playing video content for selecting a hop. The selecting defines a current scene (102) which the play means (100) is playing at a time of the selection, and a current scene signature corresponding to the current scene (102). A similar scene hopping processor (104) operates responsive to a defining of a current scene (102). The similar scene hopping processor (104) compares the current scene signature with other scene signatures of the video content to identify a similar scene (106). The similar scene hopping processor (104) causes the play means (100) to transfer the playing to the similar scene (106).
摘要:
The method of content identification consists of creating a signature to comprise one or more sub-signatures. A sub-signature is created by averaging values of a feature in multiple frames of a content item (24). The electronics device (62) is able to retrieve a first signature of a first content item from a storage means (66) and to receive a second content item using a receiver (68). The device has a control unit (70) which is able to create one or more sub-signatures by averaging values of one or more features in multiple frames of the second content item and using the one or more sub-signatures to create a second signature. The control unit (70) is also able to determine similarity between the two signatures by determining similarity of sub-signatures for a similar feature. The software is able to create a signature for a content item by averaging values of a feature in multiple frames in a sequence of frames in the content item.
摘要:
A method of detecting and reproducing data comprises the steps of receiving a first signal comprising data, analyzing the data comprised by the first signal, categorizing the data into at least two categories of data defined as first category and second category; and reproducing the data when it is of the first category, and, when the data is of the second category, detecting whether it is in a predetermined sub-category of the second category, wherein (i) the data is reproduced when it is in the predetermined sub-category of the second category; (ii) the second signal is selected and data comprised in the second signal is reproduced when it is not in the predetermined sub-category of the second category.
摘要:
A method of and system for detecting a cartoon in a video stream are provided. The system comprises a storage device for storing the encoded signal and a processor for processing low parameter information extracted from the encoded video signal. The information is extracted based on the predetermined characteristics of a typical cartoon. At least one value is computed based on the low parameter information and it is compared to the predetermined values for natural video. Based on the comparison the determination is made whether the video sequence contains a cartoon.
