ABSTRACT
|
| Efficient video content management and exploitation requires extraction of the underlying semantics, which is a non-trivial task involving the association of low-level features with high-level concepts. In this paper, a knowledge-assisted approach for extracting semantic information of domain-specific video content is presented. Domain knowledge considers both low-level visual features (color, motion, shape) and spatial information (topological and directional relations). An initial segmentation algorithm generates a set of over-segmented atom-regions and a neural network is used to estimate the similarity distance between the extracted atom-region descriptors and the ones of the object models included in the domain ontology. A genetic algorithm is applied then in order to find the optimal interpretation according to the domain conceptualization. The proposed approach was tested on the Tennis and Formula One domains with promising results.
