Abstract
The present invention relates to multimedia indexing using a weight description scheme, and more particularly, to a weight description scheme and a multimedia indexing method using the same which is capable of increasing the performance of multimedia indexing and browsing by effectively describing weight information on multimedia items. A weight description scheme embodying the invention utilizes a weight information type, weight information, and a reliability factor so that each description scheme representing content information of multimedia describes effective weight information.
Claims42
A method of indexing and characterizing multimedia content, comprising:
- assigning, for each of a plurality of items of multimedia content:
- a weight type that indicates the type of a weight measure,
- a weight value, and
- a weight reliability that indicates the reliability of the assigned weight value;
- and
- generating an index of the plurality of items of multimedia content based on at least one of the assigned weight types, the assigned weight values and the assigned weight reliabilities.
A method of indexing a plurality of segments of multimedia content, comprising:
- assigning a segment description weight value for each of a plurality of segments of multimedia content;
- generating a segment relation index that indicates relationships between the plurality of segments of multimedia content;
- and
- generating an index of the plurality of segments of multimedia content based on the assigned description weight values and the segment relation index.
A method of indexing a plurality of segments of multimedia content, comprising:
- assigning an object weight value for each of a plurality of segments of multimedia content;
- assigning an event weight value for each of the plurality of segments of multimedia content;
- generating an event/object relation index that indicates relationships between events and objects presented in the plurality of items of multimedia content;
- and
- generating an index of the plurality of segments of multimedia content based on the assigned object weight values, the assigned event weight values, and the event/object relation index.
A multimedia description scheme, wherein at least one weighting description scheme is used to characterize multimedia content, and wherein the at least one weighting description scheme comprises a weight information type, meaning the criteria for defining a weight value, a weight information according to the criteria defined by the weight information type, and a reliability, which indicates the reliability of weight information assigned to a multimedia target according to the weight information type.
A multimedia description scheme for enabling effective indexing and browsing, characterized in that:
- weight information on segments or weight information on segment relations is described in such a manner that the multimedia content description scheme includes a segment description scheme and a segment relational graph description scheme, said multimedia content description scheme further including more than one weight description scheme.
A multimedia description scheme for enabling effective multimedia indexing and browsing, characterized in that:
- weight information on objects, weight information on events, or weight information on event/object relational graphs are described in such a manner that the multimedia content description scheme includes a content description scheme comprising a plurality of event information, a plurality of object information, and a plurality of event/object relational graph description schemes, said content description scheme further including more than one weight description scheme.
A multimedia description scheme for enabling effective multimedia indexing and browsing, characterized in that:
- weight information on relations between events and objects or weight information on event or object nodes is described in such a manner that a multimedia event/object relational graph description scheme further includes more than one weight description scheme, and weight information on events or objects is described in such a manner that an event or object node description scheme further includes more than one weight description scheme.
A method of indexing and characterizing multimedia content, comprising:
- assigning, for each of a plurality of items of multimedia content:
- a weight value, and
- a weight reliability that indicates the reliability of the assigned weight value;
- and
- generating an index of the plurality of items of multimedia content based on the assigned weight values and the assigned weight reliabilities.
A method of indexing a plurality of segments of multimedia content, comprising:
- assigning an object weight value for each of a plurality of segments of multimedia content;
- assigning an event weight value for each of the plurality of segments of multimedia content;
- and
- generating an event/object relation index that indicates relationships between events and objects presented in the plurality of segments of multimedia content.
