In this paper, we describe an implementation of indexing and presentation system conforming to TV-Anytime standards. This system has a metadata indexing scheme for multimedia contents, a video indexing algorithm for news and soccer videos, and an MPEG-2 TS player for nonlinear browsing. We also implement an authoring tool for the algorithms mentioned above.

The study is content-based video retrieval system based on the news video domain as researching for the video data processing method for searching the multimedia information. For the implementation of effective system, We retrieval meaning information and special information using the knowing knowledge about formation and structure of the video data. These are possible to retrieval searching by articles fast and accurately by indexing contents the users want to search. The news domain used in experiment of our system is the KBS news on the air nowadays and precision and recall is used to evaluate the experiment and performance.

Caption information in news videos can be useful for video indexing and retrieval since it usually suggests or implies the contents of the video very well. In this paper, a new algorithm for extracting and recognizing characters from news video is proposed, without a priori knowledge such as font type, color, size of character. In the process of text region extraction, in order to improve the recognition rate for videos with complex background at low resolution, continuous frames with identical text regions are automatically detected to compose an average frame. The image of the averaged frame is projected to horizontal and vertical direction, and we apply region filling to remove backgrounds to produce the character. Then, K-means color clustering is applied to remove remaining backgrounds to produce the final text image. In the process of character recognition, simple features such as white run and zero-one transition from the center, are extracted from unknown characters. These feature are compared with the pre-composed character feature set to recognize the characters. Experimental results tested on various news videos show that the proposed method is superior in terms of caption extraction ability and character recognition rate.

The content-based retrieval using low-level features can hardly provide the retrieval result that corresponds with conceptual demand of user for intelligent retrieval. Video includes not only moving picture data, but also audio or closed-caption data. Knowledge-based video retrieval is able to provide the retrieval result that corresponds with conceptual demand of user because of performing automatic indexing with such a variety data. In this paper, we present the knowledge-based video retrieval system using Korean closed-caption. The closed-caption is indexed by Korean keyword extraction system including the morphological analysis process. As a result, we are able to retrieve the video by using keyword from the indexing database. In the experiment, we have applied the proposed method to news video with closed-caption generated by Korean stenographic system, and have empirically confirmed that the proposed method provides the retrieval result that corresponds with more meaningful conceptual demand of user.

In this paper, we present a new anchor shot detection system which is a core step of the preprocessing process for the news video analysis. The proposed system is composed of four modules and operates sequentially: 1) skin color detection module for reducing the candidate face regions; 2) face detection module for finding the key-frames with a facial data; 3) vector representation module for the key-frame images using a non-negative matrix factorization; 4) anchor shot detection module using a support vector data description. According to our computer experiments, the proposed system shows not only the comparable accuracy to the recent other results, but also more faster detection rate than others.

In this paper, we propose a novel anchor shot detection system, named to MASD (Multi-phase Anchor Shot Detection), which is a core step of the preprocessing process for the news video analysis. The proposed system is composed of four modules and operates sequentially: 1) skin color detection module for reducing the candidate face regions; 2) face detection module for finding the key-frames with a facial data; 3) vector representation module for the key-frame images using a non-negative matrix factorization; 4) one class SVM module for determining the anchor shots using a support vector data description. Besides the qualitative analysis, our experiments validate that the proposed system shows not only the comparable accuracy to the recently developed methods, but also more faster detection rate than those of others.

In order to build a news archive system. the news video stream should be first segmented into several articles, ad their contents are abstracted effectively. This abstraction helps the users to understand the contents of the article without playing the whole video stream. This paper proposes a new article boundary detection scheme for the news video streams together with a new news article abstraction scheme using the shot types of the news video data. The shots in the news video are classified into anchor person shots, interview shots, speech shots, reporting shots, graphic shots, and others. Since the news article starts with an anchor shot whose duration is relatively longer than other shots with special screen structure, the article boundary in detected by the computing the length of the shot and checking the screen structure in the proposed scheme. For the effective abstraction of the article video, the graphic image located in the right-top of the anchor shot frames is primarily used in the proposed abstraction scheme since it is the abstraction of the article made by the producer of the news according to its contents so that it contains a lot of meaningful information. The key frames of the other shots except interview and report shots are also used to abstract the contents of the articles in the proposed scheme. Upon experimental results, the precision and recall values of the proposed article boundary detection scheme could be 92% and 96%, respectively. This paper also presents a design and implementation of a prototype news archive system on WWW that consists of an indexing tool, an authoring tool, a database for meta-data of the news, and a browsing tool.

뉴스 비디오 데이터베이스를 구축하기 위해서는 비디오 색인의 자동화에 관한 연구가 필연적이다. 그리하여, 본 논문에서는 비디오 색인화를 자동화 하는 방법으로, 이전에 제안한 키 프레임(key frame)의 추출 방법을 이용하여 추출된 키 프레임을 대상으로 색인화 하였다. 즉, 추출된 키 프레임 중에서 메타 색인에 해당하는 앵커 프레임(anchor frame)을 선택하는 방법을 제시하고, 선택된 앵커 프레임을 이용하여 뉴스 비디오를 색인화 하였다. 구현된 비디오 색인화는 사용자의 관점에 따라 여러 가지 방법으로 브라우징(browsing)되며, 사용자가 원하는 뉴스 비디오 씬(scene)들을 쉽게 선택하여 볼 수 있는 특징을 제공하였다.

This paper proposes an efficient method to recognize Hangeul in video open captions. The open captions in news video can play an important role in the video indexing. The strokes of Korean character have a very strong horizontal and vertical directionality and some strokes appear repeatedly in each character. Based on this characteristics, in this paper, we propose an efficient algorithm to extract the character regions in open caption and recognize the characters based on these characteristics of Korean character. The simulation results demonstrate the efficiency of our algorithm in terms of computation time and recognition accuracy.
