Automatic difference measure between movies using dissimilarity measure fusion and rank correlation coefficients
Nicolas Voiron, Alexandre Benoît, Patrick Lambert · 2012
When considering multimedia database growth, one current challenging issue is to design accurate navigation tools. End user basic needs, such as exploration, similarity search and favorite suggestions, lead to investigate how to find semantically resembling media. One way is to build numerous continuous dissimilarity measures from low-level image features. In parallel, an other way is to build discrete dissimilarities from textual information which may be available with video sequences. However, how such different measures should be selected as relevant and be fused? To this aim, the purpose of this paper is to compare all those various dissimilarities and to propose a suitable ranking fusion method for several dissimilarities. Subjective tests with human observers on the CITIA animation movie database have been carried out to validate the model.
