Video structuring; Video structure analysis
Definition
Mining video ontent structure is an elementary step of video content analysis. Direct access to a video without indexing is usually not an easy task, due to its length and unstructured format. On the other hand, analogous to text documents that can be decomposed into chapters, paragraphs, sentences and words, videos can be segmented into units like scenes, shots, and keyframes. The analysis of video content structure can be viewed as the process of hierarchically decomposing videos into units and building their relationships. Through such a process, a table-of-content can be constructed for each video, which facilitates the access and manipulations of the video data. For example, the keyframes extracted from the video can be used as its entries for indexing and browsing.
Historical Background
More and more videodata has become available to ordinary users due to the advances in storage devices, networks and compression...
