Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to detect an image correction method from corrected images, in order to grasp a correction method of a correctly corrected images as a guideline for correction of a harmful image, and to present an image correction proposal to which a correction method in the past is applied, in order to indicate to a corrector a guideline for correction of the harmful image. In order to achieve the above-described objective, the present invention employs the following configuration. With respect to a harmful image data before correction and an image data after correction, a scene feature quantity representing the feature quantity of a scene for each scene of a video is calculated, and by comparing chronological lists of the respective scene feature quantities of the videos, a correction method for the scene configuration is detected.

Abstract: Method and system for facilitating analysis of causes of abnormalities found during a test on a video system. Video output from the system during the test, operation log of a test worker, and images generated by image analysis unit analyzing characteristic quantities of the video output from the system and determining points of change of the video and moving objects in the video, are recorded in storage device. Relation between the direction of the moving objects in the video and the direction of user input operations is checked and the moving objects in the video are classified into user-manipulation objects and non-manipulation objects and recorded. Abnormality occurrence locations are recorded. Recorded data are searched, classified and displayed by using as a key the abnormality categories, operation patterns of the operation logs, images of abnormality occurrence scenes and images of manipulation objects.

Abstract: The user terminal 110 executes a search condition input tool 111 according to sample video data stored therein beforehand to create a first media feature value 121 (correct feature value) to be assumed as a reference for searching for a media recognition site. The media recognition server 150 recognizes the sample video 119 and transmits a second media feature value that is a result of the recognition to the user terminal. The user terminal 110 then compares the correct feature value created beforehand with the second media feature value that is a result of the recognition executed at the media recognition server to select a media recognition site that executes the recognition processing according to a user's request.
