....and or expanded by the user. This way, significant amounts of user time are saved without loosing the flexibility of subjective annotation. The audio browser described in this paper, is an initial prototype of such a semi automatic system. 2.2. Related work Hidden Markov Models were used in [6] for segmentation and analysis of recorded meetings by speaker. The breakup into segments is based on classification and assumes that a trained model for each speaker is available. The trajectory of the fundamental frequency is used in [7] for segmenting voice into phonemes or notes. In contrast, ....

....for an efficient method to automatically segment or classify audio stream based on its content. Such a method is helpful not only in audio retrieval [1] 2] but also in video structure extraction. In general, audio content analysis in video parsing can be considered in two directions [12] 13][14]. One is to discriminate audio streams into different classes such as speech, music, environment sound and silence, the other is to classify audio streams into segments of different speakers. In this paper, our research work of the first direction will be presented. There have been many studies ....

....Based on the temporal change of MFCC, an audio sequence can be segmented into different segments, so that each segment contains music of the same style or speech from one person. Boreczky and Wilcox used 12 cepstral coefficients along with some color and motion features to segment video sequences [8]. Clip Level Features As described before, frame level features are designed to capture the short term characteristics of an audio signal. To extract the semantic content, we need to observe the temporal variation of frame features on a longer time scale. This consideration leads to the ....

....work with different shot transitions. To circumvent this problem, Boreczky and Wilcox proposed an alternative approach which uses a HMM (see TV Program Categorization Using HMM for more details on HMM) to model a video sequence and accomplish shot segmentation and classification simultaneously [8]. By turning the problem into a classification problem, the need for thresholding is eliminated. Another advantage of the HMM framework is that it can integrate multimodal features easily. The use of an HMM for modeling a video sequence is motivated by the fact that a video consists of different ....

....the so called double chromatic difference curve is examined. It is based on the idea that the frames of a dissolve can be recovered using the beginning and end frames. The approach has low computational requirements but works under the assumption of small object movement. Boreczky and Wilcox [7] use hidden Markov models (HMM) for temporal video segmentation. Separate states are used to model shot, cut, fade, dissolve, pan and zoom. The arcs between states model the allowable progressions of states. For example, from the shot state it is possible to go to any of the transition states, but ....

Gradual transitions are detected by cumulative difference measures [36] Other categories of video segmentation techniques are feature based [35] and model based [1,8,12,34].

....features extracted from audio, video and textual information. These methods achieve shot grouping more or less through a synthesis of the segmentation performed for each media. The fourth family of algorithms relies on statistical techniques as Hidden Markov Models (HMM) and other Bayesian tools [2, 7]. In this paper, we present a method based on a cophenetic criterion which belongs to the first family. The sequel is organized as follows. Section 2 describes our method involving an agglomerative binary hierarchy and the use of the cophenetic matrix. Section 3 specifies the various options we ....

The automatic learning capabilities of HMMs can be effectively used to process a very large amount of video data automatically and to analyze the characteristics of video contents in a self organizing way. The first video indexing systems based on HMMs are [5, 6]. 2. CONTENT CLASSES AND VIDEO MODEL OF TV BROADCAST NEWS To index TV broadcast news it is necessary to define useful content classes of TV news. We defined six main content classes: NEWSCASTER: The appearance for this class is very similar among most of the TV stations. On the right hand ....
