The Role of Visual Content and Style for Concert Video Indexing C. G. M. Snoek, M. Worring, A. W. M. Smeulders, B. Freiburg In IEEE International Conference on Multimedia & Expo 2007. [bibtex] [pdf] [url]

This paper contributes to the automatic indexing of concert video. In contrast to traditional methods, which rely primarily on audio information for summarization applications, we explore how a visual-only concept detection approach could be employed. We investigate how our recent method for news video indexing — which takes into account the role of content and style — generalizes to the concert domain. We analyze concert video on three levels of visual abstraction, namely: content, style, and their fusion. Experiments with 12 concept detectors, on 45 hours of visually challenging concert video, show that the automatically learned best approach is concept-dependent. Moreover, these results suggest that the visual modality provides ample opportunity for more effective indexing and retrieval of concert video when used in addition to the auditory modality.
