Project: Sports Video Analysis
Motivation & Application
Goal
Our ultimate goal is to bridge the
gap between low-level audio-visual features and high-level semantics. Here
we are trying to incorporate generic audio-visual features, domain-specific
information into suitable reasoning schemes, and thus locate and extract
interesting events.
Focus
We are focusing on automatic analysis
of sports video, and our current test dataset are soccer videos.
Potential
Applications
Target users: sports fans, sports
professionals, as well as common TV audience.
(1) Interactive browsing
(2) Search and indexing
(3) Skimming
This is especially useful under context
of versatile and pervasive applications of digital video, with the amount
of information increasing several order of magnitude faster than possible
viewing time.
