A framework for multimedia content abstraction and its application to rushes exploration
Werner Bailer, Georg Thallinger · 2007
Multimedia content abstraction methods such as summarisation, skimming and browsing are of growing importance for the exploration of multimedia collections, complementing search and retrieval approaches. The methods proposed in literature differ in a number of aspects (e.g. form, purpose, presentation), but nonetheless many similarities in the creation of multimedia content abstractions can be identified. Thus we propose a generic multimedia content abstraction process and a software framework that implements it. We demonstrate the practical usability of the framework by using it to build an application for browsing a collection of rushes.
