Efficient access to video content in a unified framework
Yong Rui, Shengnan Zhou, Thomas S. Huang · 2003
Book contents' browsing and retrieval have been greatly facilitated by its Table-of-Contents (ToC) and Index, respectively. Unfortunately, today's video lacks such powerful mechanisms. In this paper, we explore and present novel techniques for constructing video ToC and Index. Furthermore, we explore the relationship between video browsing and retrieval and propose a unified framework: to incorporate both entities in a seamless way. Experimental results on real-world video clips justify our proposed framework for providing efficient access to video content.
