Method of identifying video by creating and comparing motion fingerprints

A method for fingerprinting a video involving identifying motion within the video and using a measure of the identified motion as a fingerprint. Once videos are fingerprinted, these fingerprints can be used in a method for identifying video. This involves creating a motion fingerprint for unidentified videos; comparing the fingerprints of the known and unknown videos, and identifying whether the unknown video is a copy of the known video based on the step of comparing. Comparing fingerprints comprises the steps of comparing the position of motion in both fingerprints as a function of time to provide a position similarity measure, comparing the motion magnitude as a function of time to provide a magnitude similarity measure and using both position and magnitude measures to provide a measure of similarity between the fingerprints.

Classifying a video shot according to calculated image transform parameters

A method of classifying a video shot comprises predicting an image from a preceding image using a parameter based image transform, and comparing points in the predicted image with corresponding points in a current image to generate an point error value for each point. These point error values are used to identify those points whose point error value exceeds a point error threshold. Then, for corresponding points on images used as input to subsequent calculations that update the image transform parameters, the points so identified are excluded from contributing to said calculations. Points corresponding to moving objects are therefore excluded from the calculations. The calculated transform parameters may be used to determine whether the video shot corresponds to one of pan, tilt, roll and zoom.

A method for summarizing a video first detects audio peaks in a sub-sampled audio signal of the video. Then, motion activity in the video is extracted and filtered. The filtered motion activity is quantized to a continuous stream of digital pulses, one pulse for each frame. If the motion activity is greater than a predetermined threshold the pulse is one, otherwise the pulse is zero. Each quantized pulse is tested with respect to the timing of rising and falling edges. If the pulse meets the condition of the test, then the pulse is selected as a candidate pulse related to an interesting event in the video, otherwise the pulse is discarded. The candidate pulses are correlated, time-wise to the audio peaks, and patterns between the pulses and peaks are examined. The correlation patterns segment the video into uninteresting and interesting portions, which can then be summarized.

Method and device for selection of key-frames for retrieving picture contents, and method and device for temporal segmentation of a sequence of successive video pictures or a shot

Exemplary embodiments are described in which is performed not only a shot detection (continuous recording with a camera) and an association of several key-frames to the shots, it then being possible for a subsequent scene recognition to be based on the grouping of shots into scenes. Rather, it is observed that a scene only relates to one event in a setting. Since both can change within a shot, not every scene boundary is at the same time also a shot boundary. In addition, not every shot is short enough, so that a reliable retrieval of different picture contents is not guaranteed. Therefore, exemplary embodiments are shown which are capable of defining sub-shots so that in principle, scene and shot boundaries are also sub-shot boundaries at the same time. Sub-shots furthermore include only video pictures with a small change in picture content.
