1. Feature Extraction
The first research issue in this project is
feature extraction for video content representation. Two components for feature
representation are
studied. One is text feature extraction to obtain both the syntactic and
semantic features. Fig. 1. shows an example of extracting syntactic and semantic
text features. The second one is the visual feature extraction which extract
both low-level image content and high-level video semantic features.
