Development of a technique to identify advertisements in a video signal / Ruan Moolman

Moolman, Ruan January 2012 (has links)
In recent years Content Based Information Retrieval (CBIR) has received a lot of research attention, starting with audio, followed by images and video. Video ngerprinting is a CBIR technique that creates a digital descriptor, also known as a ngerprint, for videos based on its content. These ngerprints are then saved to a database and used to detect unknown videos by comparing the unknown video's ngerprint to the ngerprints in the database to get a match. Many techniques have already been proposed with various levels of success, but most of the existing techniques focus mainly on robustness and neglect the speed of implementation. In this dissertation a novel video ngerprinting technique will be developed with the main focus on detecting advertisements in a television broadcast. Therefore the system must be able to process the incoming video stream in real-time and detect all the advertisements that are present. Even though the algorithm has to be fast, it still has to be robust enough to handle a moderate amount of distortions. These days video ngerprinting still holds many challenges as it involves characterizing videos, made up of sequences of images, e ectively. This means the algorithm must somehow imitate the inherent ability of humans to recognize a video almost instantly. The technique uses the content of the video to derive a ngerprint, thus the features used by the ngerprinting algorithm should be robust to distortions that don't a ect content according to humans. / Thesis (MIng (Computer and Electronic Engineering))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2013
