  • Video-genre classification
    Patent number: 8666918
    Abstract: An exemplary embodiment of the invention relates to a method for classifying a video sequence (VS), characterized by the steps of analyzing the video sequence using a plurality of genre-specific detector modules (M1-M5), each genre-specific detector module providing a probability value (P1-P5) indicating the probability that the video sequence belongs to the genre assigned to the genre-specific detector module; and analyzing the probability values of the plurality of genre-specific detector modules using a combiner (CM) which analyzes said probability values and generates a classification signal (SC) classifying the video sequence as belonging to a specific genre (g).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 4, 2009
    Date of Patent: March 4, 2014
    Assignee: Technische Universitat Berlin
    Inventors: Thomas Sikora, Ronald Glasberg, Pascal Kelm, Martin Mocigemba, Hüseyin Oguz, Sebastian Schmiedeke

  • Method for detecting a commercial in a video data stream by evaluating descriptor information
    Patent number: 7761491
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for detecting a commercial in a video data stream by evaluating descriptor information provided from a plurality of visual descriptors indicative of commercial or non-commercial features. The descriptor information provided from the plurality of descriptors may be evaluated in an entropy based decision process.
