Abstract

Text information, which plays important role in news video concept detection, has been ignored in state-of-the-art movie analysis technology. It is so because movie subtitles are speech of roles which do not directly describe content of movie and contributes little to movie analysis. In this paper, we import collaborative-editing synopsis from professional movie sites for movie analysis, which gives detailed descriptive text of movie. Two aligning methods, subtitle alignment and RoleNet alignment, are proposed complementarily to align synopsis to movie to get scene-level text information of movie. The experiment show that proposed methods can effectively align synopsis to movie scene and the imported text information can give a more user-preferred summarization than merely using audiovisual feature.
