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. The generation unit generates, based on the extracted region features of the respective sub-regions, an image signature to be used for identifying the image.

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.

Provided is a content reproduction control system equipped with: a signal characterizing quantity sequence extraction means that, for each content item stored in a content group storage unit that stores at least more than one content item, extracts a signal characterizing quantity sequence which is the sequence of the signal characterizing quantities associated with the content positions on the time axis; a common section group detection means that detects, as a common section group in the signal characterizing quantity sequence for each content item, a common section group for which the signal characterizing quantities for different content items are similar to each other; a content reproduction quality information collection means that, for each common section group, collects content reproduction quality information which indicates the reproduction quality of the content to which each common section of a common section group belongs; and a content reproduction control means that, when the content contained in the content group storage unit is reproduced, switches the content reproduced for the content to be reproduced for the sections included in the common section group and performs reproduction such that the reproduction quality of the content will be higher, based on the content reproduction quality information for the content to which each common section of a common section group belongs.

This image identity scale calculation system can calculate an identity scale representing a degree of identity of two images in consideration of identification capability and robustness. An image feature comparison unit is supplied with hierarchical quantization index codes, which are encodings allowing unique specification of quantization indexes of a plurality of hierarchies calculated by hierarchical quantization for each quantization target region of the two images, and selects a quantization index set used for comparison as a comparing quantization index set based on additionally supplied information in accordance with a previously defined hierarchical quantization method. Then, the image feature comparison unit compares the hierarchical quantization index codes of the two images by using the comparing quantization index set, and calculates an identity scale of the two images.

To enable a utilization frequency of each segment in a source video to be readily assessed between videos in a corresponding relationship during a creation process. Relationship information that is information indicating a segment in a corresponding relationship between a source video and a plurality of derived videos created using at least a part of segments of the source video is stored in a relationship information storing unit, and a corresponding relationship of the segment between the source video and the plurality of derived videos and a utilization frequency of each segment of the source video by the plurality of derived videos are displayed based on the relationship information stored in the relationship information storing unit.

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.

This image feature extraction device extracts, from an image, an image feature that makes it possible to adjust the balance between identification capability and robustness, which are the scales of the capability of determining identity of images. This image feature extraction device executes hierarchical quantization to calculate quantization indexes of a plurality of hierarchies in accordance with a previously defined hierarchical quantization method for each quantization target region of an image, and outputs a hierarchical quantization index code, which is an encoding allowing unique specification of the quantization indexes of the respective hierarchies of each quantization target region.

A system of this invention is a video processing system for determining details of a browsable video content. This video processing system includes a video fragment download unit that downloads data of a video fragments in a determination target video content via a network, and a first video content determination unit that determines the details of the video content based on the downloaded data of the video fragments. With this arrangement, it is possible to determine the details of a browsable video content while reducing the amount of data to be downloaded.
