Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments for identifying importance of scenes or moments in video content relative to one another. Closed captioning data is extracted from a video content feature. A textual analysis of the closed captioning data is performed. The importance level of scenes can be ranked with respect to one another.
Claims24
A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodying a program executable in at least one computing device, comprising:
- code that obtains a video content feature, the video content feature associated with closed captioning data;
- code that performs an analysis of spoken dialog in the closed captioning data in a plurality of scenes of the video content feature;
- code that performs an analysis of non-dialog spoken content in the closed captioning data in the plurality of scenes of the video content feature;
- code that performs an analysis of text in the closed captioning data that is associated with unspoken content in the video content feature;
- and
- code that ranks a plurality of scenes of the video content feature according to an importance level, the importance level of a scene based at least in part upon the analyses of the spoken dialog, the non-dialog spoken content and the unspoken content.
3 more elements
A system, comprising:
- at least one computing device;
- and
- a video content analysis application executable in the at least one computing device, the video content analysis application comprising:
- logic that extracts closed captioning data from a video content feature;
- logic that identifies a plurality of scenes in the video content feature;
- logic that performs a textual analysis on the closed captioning data;
- and
- logic that ranks an importance level of the plurality of scenes based at least in part upon the textual analysis of the closed captioning data.
5 more elements
A method, comprising:
- obtaining, by at least one computing device, a video content feature associated with closed captioning data;
- extracting, by the at least one computing device, the closed captioning data from the video content feature;
- and
- identifying, by the at least one computing device, an importance level of a plurality of moments from within the video content feature based at least in part upon an analysis of the closed captioning data.
