20110069939 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SCENE SEGMENTATION - An apparatus and method of segmenting video content received in real-time is provided. Video content may be received through broadcasting or communications, and the video content may be segmented into scenes which are a series of semantic segments. A normalized-cut algorithm may be used for scene segmentation of video content. The normalized-cut algorithm may be applied for detecting locations at which a scene segmentation cost is minimized, and to decide a scene segmentation location based on the appearance frequency of the locations. If captions related to video content are received, a text segmentation algorithm may be applied to the captions to estimate text segmentation costs and scene segmentation may be performed using a merged segmentation cost obtained by linear merging scene segmentation costs and text segmentation costs. | 03-24-2011 |
