This paper presents a scheme that generates a caption file by extracting a Closed Caption stream from DTV signal. Note that Closed-Captioning service helps to bridge "digital divide" through extending broadcasting accessibility of a neglected class such as hearing-impaired person and foreigner. In Korea, DTV Closed Captioning standard was developed in June 2007, and Closed Captioning service should be supported by an enforcing law in all broadcasting services in 2008. In this paper, we describe the method of extracting a caption data from MPEG-2 Transport Stream of ATSC-based digital TV signal and generating a caption file (SAMI and SRT) using the extracted caption data and time information. Experimental results verify the feasibility of a generated caption file using a PC-based media player which is widely used in multimedia service.

In this paper, we study on making a use of value-added services using DTV closed caption data. Note that Closed-Captioning service helps to bridge "digital divide" through extending broadcasting accessibility of a neglected class such as hearing-impaired person and foreigner. In Korea, DTV Closed Captioning standard was developed in June 2007, and Closed Captioning service should be provided by an enforcing law in all broadcasting services in April 2008. Here, we describe the method of extracting a caption data from MPEG-2 Transport Stream of ATSC-based digital TV signal and generating a caption file using the extracted caption data and time information. In addition, we present the segmentation method of broadcasting content using caption file. Experimental results show that implemented S/W tool provides the feasibility of the proposed methods and the usability of closed caption for a variety of data application service.

The hearing impaired have a substantially lower comprehension of audiovisual television programs due to their inability to hear sounds. Therefore, research was needed to improve their understanding by making these programs more accessible. This thesis is based on a proposal to find a solution for automating closed captions.

Foreign countries have been used closed captioning for people with hearing loss. Recently some TV programs in Korea also have started to use it. Closed captioned films and video tapes of foreign countries are especially useful for people who want to learn foreign languages as an effective educational tool. In this paper, we propose a method of implementing captioning functionality to an existing streaming software. In addition we added repetitive and group selection of video segments for the new interface of our prototype system. We keep adding additional data and extending functions of our prototype system.

This study aims to evaluate the accuracy and completeness of Korean and English closed captions for Netflix's "Squid Game" and to present implications based on the findings. To achieve this, the closed captioning guidelines of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission, DCMP, and the Korea Communications Commission were identified and analyzed. The analysis of the subtitle of the entire "Squid Game" series reveals that, while Korean closed captions accurately present slangs and titles, they present non-existent information in speaker identification. In English closed captions, speaker identification guidelines are well followed, but omissions of slangs and title mistranslations are observed. In terms of completeness, both Korean and English closed captions are found to omit certain audio parts. To address these issues, the study suggests strengthening the QA process, establishing a system to communicate original text problems during translation, and utilizing general English subtitles.

자막은 청각장애인들의 의사 소통, 정보 전달 및 정보 획득에 중요한 부분을 차지하는 서비스이다. 특히, 지상파 DTV 에서 청각장애인의 방송시청권보장을 위한 일환으로 제공되고 있는 폐쇄자막은 지상파 DTV 뿐만 아니라, 케이블, 위성방송, IPTV 및 VOD 서비스에서도 활용이 가능한 재활용성이 높은 콘텐츠이다. 그러나, 속기사에 의한 실시간 폐쇄자막 서비스가 제공되는 방송환경에서 많은 방송 프로그램의 폐쇄자막들이 일회성으로 사용되고 사라지는 경우가 많다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 폐쇄자막 콘텐츠의 미디어 매체별 재활용성을 높이기 위한 한 방법으로 CEA-708 표준을 지원하는 폐쇄자막의 사전 제작 및 기저작된 자막의 편집을 위한 저작도구를 소개한다.

본 논문에서는 청각장애인에게 자막방송을 제공하기 위하여 오디오 콘텐츠에 등장하는 음향 사건을 분류하는 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법은 복수의 잔차 신경망(ResNet)을 연결하는 연쇄잔차(concatenated residual) 신경망 구조를 갖는다. 신경망의 입력 특징을 위해 음성의 멜-주파수 켑스트럼 벡터를 다수의 프레임으로 결합하여 형성한 2 차원 이미지와 전체 프레임에 대한 멜-주파수 켑스트럼 벡터들로부터 얻은 1 차원의 통계 특징벡터를 얻는다. 각각의 입력은 2 차원 잔차 신경망과 1 차원 잔차 신경망으로 모델링되고, 두 개의 잔차 신경망을 연쇄연결(concatenation)하는 구조를 가진 연쇄잔차 신경망으로 구성된다. 성능평가를 위해 수집된 데이터셋으로부터 6-fold 교차검증을 통해 평가한 결과, 85.48%의 분류 정확도를 얻을 수 있었다.

Broadcasting programs are provided to various media such as Internet replay, OTT, and IPTV services as well as self-broadcasting. In this case, it is very important to provide keywords for search that represent the characteristics of the content well. Broadcasters mainly use the method of manually entering key keywords in the production process and the archive process. This method is insufficient in terms of quantity to secure core metadata, and also reveals limitations in recommending and using content in other media services. This study supports securing a large number of metadata by utilizing closed caption data pre-archived through the DTV closed captioning server developed in EBS. First, core metadata was automatically extracted by applying Google's natural language AI technology. The next step is to propose a method of finding core metadata by reflecting priorities and content characteristics as core research contents. As a technology to obtain differentiated metadata weights, the importance was classified by applying the TF-IDF calculation method. Successful weight data were obtained as a result of the experiment. The string metadata obtained by this study, when combined with future string similarity measurement studies, becomes the basis for securing sophisticated content recommendation metadata from content services provided to other media.
