REPORT SDV00TR/IDIAP Incorporating Domain Knowledge with Video and Voice Data Analysis in News Broadcasts Shearer, Kim Dorai, Chitra Venkatesh, Svetha EXTERNAL http://publications.idiap.ch/attachments/reports/2000/rr00-14.pdf PUBLIC Idiap-RR-14-2000 2000 IDIAP This paper addresses the area of video annotation, indexing and retrieval, and shows how a set of tools can be employed, along with domain knowledge, to detect narrative structure in broadcast news. The initial structure is detected using low-level audio visual processing in conjunction with domain knowledge. Higher level processing may then utilize the initial structure detected to direct processing to improve and extend the initial classification.
