An Automated Video Annotation System

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNIP,volume 3687))

Abstract

Manually labeling video data is not only a labor intensive and time-consuming task, but also subject to human errors. In this paper, we present an automatic video annotation system. The system uses spatial attributions such as color, texture, shape, motion, and temporal hierarchical attributes among video objects. The system includes a new method of automatic video segmentation, object recognition and object-tracking scheme, and hierarchical object-based video representation model.
