In this paper, we propose a content-based video indexing and retrieval system using MPEG-7 standard to retrieve and manage videos efficiently. The proposed system consists of video indexing module for a video DB and video retrieval module to allow various query methods on a web environment. Video indexing module stores metadata such as manually typed in keywords, automatically recognized character names, and MPEG-7 visual descriptors extracted by indexing module into a DB in a sever side. A user can access to retrieval module by a web and retrieve desired videos through various query methods like keywords, faces, example and sketch. For this retrieval system, we propose ATC(Adaptive Twin Comparison) as a cut detection method for efficient video indexing and QBME(Query By Modified Example) as an improved content-based query method for the convenience of users. Experimental results show that the proposed ATC method detects cuts well and the proposed QBME method provides the conveniences better than existing query methods such as QBE(Query By Example) and QBS(Query By Sketch).

기존의 내용기반 비디오 검색 시스템들은 주석기반 검색 또는 특징기반 검색과 같은 단일 방식으로만 검색을 하므로 검색 효율이 낮을 뿐 아니라 완전한 자동 처리가 되지 않아 시스템 관리자나 주석자의 많은 노력을 요구한다. 본 논문에서는 주석기반 검색을 이용하여 대용량의 비디오 데이터에 대한 사용자의 다양한 의미검색을 지원하는 에이전트 기반에서의 자동화되고 통합된 비디오 의미기반 검색 시스템을 제안한다. 사용자의 기본적인 질의를 분석하고 질의에 의해 추출된 키 프레임의 이미지를 사용자가 선택함으로써 인덱싱 에이전트는 추출된 키 프레임의 주석에 대한 의미를 더욱 구체화시킨다.

In general, we have utilized the hierarchical concept tree as a crucial data structure for indexing huge amount of textual data. This paper proposes a generality rank-based method that can automatically develop hierarchical concept structures with the Wikipedia data. The goal of the method is to regard each of Wikipedia articles as a concept and to generate hierarchical relationships among concepts. In order to estimate the generality of concepts, we have devised a special ranking function that mainly uses the number of hyperlinks among Wikipedia articles. The ranking function is effectively used for computing the probabilistic subsumption among concepts, which allows to generate relatively more stable hierarchical structures. Eventually, a set of concept pairs with hierarchical relationship is visualized as a DAG (directed acyclic graph). Through the empirical analysis using the concept hierarchy of Open Directory Project, we proved that the proposed method outperforms a representative baseline method and it can automatically extract concept hierarchies with high accuracy.

A method to select the proper file formats of thumbnail images is proposed. After the experimental works for image file formats such as JPEG, GIF, and those effectiveness to the features contained in images, four features are obtained by feature extraction methods used in contents based image indexing, those are, the details, highly saturated colored area, the number of clustered color, and the amount of continuously varying hue. Also it is described the way to select the proper file format with those four features. In the thumbnail image generation experiments, 6 sample images are used, and with subjective assessment experiments, the resulted thumbnail images are shown to be consistent to the file formats chosen by human subjects, that is, favorable to human vision, which means the proposed method can be utilized as an automatic and systematic generation of thumbnail images for a lot of images on Web.

Recently, the value of video as an important data of medical information technology is increasing due to the feature of rich clinical information. On the other hand, video is also required to be de-identified as a medical image, but the existing methods are mainly specialized in the stereotyped data and still images, which makes it difficult to apply the existing methods to the video data. In this paper, we propose an automated system to index candidate elements of personal identification information on a frame basis to solve this problem. The proposed system performs indexing process using text and person detection after preprocessing by scene segmentation and color knowledge based method. The generated index information is provided as metadata according to the purpose of use. In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed system, the indexing speed was measured using prototype implementation and real surgical video. As a result, the work speed was more than twice as fast as the playing time of the input video, and it was confirmed that the decision making was possible through the case of the production of surgical education contents.

다양한 분야에서 중요하게 사용될 수 있는 뉴스 비디오 데이터베이스를 구축하기 위해서는 비디오 색인의 자동화에 관한 연구가 필연적이다. 본 논문에서는 뉴스 비디오 색인을 자동화하는 방법으로, 이전에 제안한 컷 추출 방법을 이용하였다. 컷에 의해 추출된 키 프레임에서 앵커 인식 알고리즘으로 앵커 프레임을 자동으로 추출하여 색인을 부여하는 방법으로 비디오 스트림에 대한 색인을 자동화하였다. 구성되는 색인 구조의 형태는 앵커 프레임들이 시간에 따른 사건의 연결이 되고, 앵커 프레임 내에서는 종속되는 키 프레임들을 중심으로 원형을 형성한다. 이들 각각을 논리적으로 통합하면 사용자의 관점에 따라 여러 가지 방법으로 브라우징되며, 사용자가 원하는 뉴스 비디오 씬들을 쉽게 선택하여 볼 수 있는 특징을 제공하는 장점을 부여한다. 또한, 색인화 된 비디오 스트림을 이용하면 자동적으로 비디오 편집을 수행 할 수 있는 비디오 저작도구의 기반을 제공할 수 있다.

Understanding consumer behavior based on the analysis of the customer data is one essential part of analytic CRM. To do this, the analytic skills for data extraction and data processing are required to users. As a user has various kinds of questions for the consumer data analysis, the user should use database language such as SQL. However, for the firm's user, to generate SQL statements is not easy because the accuracy of the query result is hugely influenced by the knowledge of work-site operation and the firm's database. This paper proposes a natural language based database search framework finding relevant database elements. Specifically, we describe how our TableRank method can understand the user's natural query language and provide proper relations and attributes of data records to the user. Through several experiments, it is supported that the TableRank provides accurate database elements related to the user's natural query. We also show that the close distance among relations in the database represents the high data connectivity which guarantees matching with a search query from a user.

This paper proposes an abstraction mechanism of the low-level digital video features for the automatic retrievals of the explosion scenes from the digital video library. In the proposed abstraction mechanism, the regional dominant colors of the key frame and the motion energy of the shot are defined as the primary abstractions of the shot for the explosion scene retrievals. It is because an explosion shot usually consists of the frames with a yellow-tone pixel and the objects in the shot are moved rapidly. The regional dominant colors of shot are selected by dividing its key frame image into several regions and extracting their regional dominant colors, and the motion energy of the shot is defined as the edge image differences between key frame and its neighboring frame. The edge image of the key frame makes the retrieval of the explosion scene more precisely, because the flames usually veils all other objects in the shot so that the edge image of the key frame comes to be simple enough in the explosion shot. The proposed automatic retrieval algorithm declares an explosion scene if it has a shot with a yellow regional dominant color and its motion energy is several times higher than the average motion energy of the shots in that scene. The edge image of the key frame is also used to filter out the false detection. Upon the extensive exporimental results, we could argue that the recall and precision of the proposed abstraction and detecting algorithm are about 0.8, and also found that they are not sensitive to the thresholds. This abstraction mechanism could be used to summarize the long action videos, and extract a high level semantic information from digital video archive.
