Our paper “Commercials and Trademarks Recognition” has been accepted as book chapter in TV Content Analysis: Techniques and Applications that will be published by CRC Press, Taylor & Francis group, on March 2012.

Book summary: TV content is currently available through various communication channels and devices, including digital TV, mobile TV, and Internet TV. However, with the increase in TV content volume, both its management and consumption become more and more challenging. Thoroughly describing TV program analysis techniques, this book explores the systems, architectures, algorithms, applications, research results, new approaches, and open issues. Leading experts address a wide variety of related subject areas and present a scientifically sound treatment of state-of-the-art techniques for readers interested or involved in TV program analysis.

Comments Off on Semantic annotation of soccer videos by visual instance clustering and spatial/temporal reasoning in ontologies

By lambertoballan, August 16, 2009

Our paper on “Semantic annotation of soccer videos by visual instance clustering and spatial/temporal reasoning in ontologies” was accepted for publication by Springer International Journal on Multimedia Tools and Applications (MTAP).

In this paper we present a framework for semantic annotation of soccer videos that exploits an ontology model referred to as Dynamic Pictorially Enriched Ontology, where the ontology, defined using OWL, includes both schema and data. Visual instances are used as matching references for the visual descriptors of the entities to be annotated. The paper is available online now and it is also available on SpringerLink in the “Online First” section (DOI).
