Bag-of-colors

Participants : Sébastien Campion [correspondent] , Hervé Jégou.

Joint work with Christian Wengert (Kooba Inc.) and Matthijs Douze (INRIA LEAR and SED project-teams)

This package implements the color descriptor proposed in our ACM Multimedia paper [48] , which improves the previous color histogram representation.

• The (reference) Matlab package, which was co-developed with Christian Wengert and Matthijs Douze ;

• The python package (translated) was translated from Matlab by Sébastien Campion.

The Matlab version of this package is available on Github at https://github.com/kooaba/bag-of-color/ .

The python version is available on the gforge INRIA server, and might be available on request.

PimPy stands for Indexing Multimedia with Python (or Platform for Indexing Multimedia with Python). The aim of this module is to provide a convenient and high level API to manage common multimedia indexing tasks. It includes severals features. It is used, in particular

• to retrieve video features, such as histogram, binarized DCT descriptor, SIFT, SURF, etc ;

• to detect video cuts and dissolve (GoodShotDetector) ;

• for fast video frame access (pyffas) ;

• for raw frame extraction, or video segment extraction and re-encoding ;

• to search a video segment in another video (content based retrieval) ;

• to perform scene clustering.

TVSearch

Participant : Sébastien Campion [correspondent] .

TVSearch is a content based retrieval search engine used to search and propagate manual annotation such as advertisement in a TV corpora. Based on a binary DCT descriptor, it used GPU card to compute exhaustive Hamming distance between the query and database. For example, a query of 11 seconds in 21 days on television (504 hours) is done in 9 seconds. (i.e., bit-rate of 2,3 days/second) TVSearch offer a web services API using the HTTP/REST protocol.

The deposit of this software at APP is currently being processed.

AVSST

Participant : Sébastien Campion [correspondent] .

AVSST is an Automatic Video Stream Structuring Tool. First, it allows the detection of repetitions in a TV stream. Second, a machine learning method allows the classification of programs and inter-programs such as advertisements, trailers, etc. Finally, the electronic program guide is synchronized with the right timestamps based on dynamic time warping. A graphical user interface is provided to manage the complete workflow.
