Semantically meaningful events are detected in video with a multi-level technique. Video sequences are visually analyzed at the first level of the technique to detect shot boundaries, to measure color and texture of the content, and to detect objects in the content. At the second level of the technique, objects are classified and the content in each shot is summarized. At the third level of the technique, an event inference module infers events on the basis of temporal and spatial phenomena disclosed in the shot summaries. The technique may be extended to additional domains by incorporating additional domain related processes at the upper levels of the technique which utilize data produced at the first level of the technique by processes which are domain independent.
A computerized method of inferring an event portrayed in a video sequence having semantic content that belongs to at least one known domain, said video sequence having one or more intervals each containing a plurality of sequential frames, said method comprising the steps of:
