The ability to characterize a film, in terms of its narrative and style, is becoming a necessity especially for developing personal video recommendation systems to better deliver on-demand Internet streaming media. Among the set of identifiable stylistic features which play an important role in the film's emotional effects, the use of Over-the-shoulder (OtS) shots in movies is able to convey a big...
Structural information, on the form of shot patterns and timing, plays an important role in scripted video, being consistently used by filmmakers as a way to convey meaning and significance into their work. For this reason, a video retrieval system can benefit from exploiting this kind of information. In this paper we propose a novel method for the retrieval of video scenes according to their structural...
In the field of multimedia analysis, attempts that lead to an emotional characterization of content have been proposed. In this work we aim at defining the emotional identity of a feature movie by positioning it into an emotional space, as if it was a piece of art. The multimedia content is mapped into a trajectory whose coordinates are connected to filming and cinematographic techniques used by directors...
In this paper we propose a fast and simple method to index and search for dialogues in a video database. Dialogues are indexed relying only on the typical dialogue scene structure, which has been modeled using a statistical framework. The related entropy rate is chosen as a compact index for capturing the specificity of the scene structure. Specifically, entropy rate effectively represents the number...
In this paper we propose a method to retrieve video stories from a database. Given a sample story unit, i.e., a series of contiguous and semantically related shots, the most similar clips are retrieved and ranked. Similarity is evaluated on the story structures, and it depends on the number of expressed visual concepts and the pattern in which they appear inside the story. Hidden Markov models are...
