Abstract

Speech signal, video caption text and video frame images are all key factors for a person to understand the video content. Through above observation, we bring forward a scheme which integrating continuous speech recognition, video caption text recognition and object recognition. The video is firstly segmented into a number of shots by shot detection. Then the caption text recognition and speech recognition are carried out and the results are treated as two paragraphs of text. Only the noun words are kept. The words are further depicted as a graph. The graph vertices stand for the words and the edges denote the semantic relation between two neighboring words. In the last step, we apply the dense sub graph finding method to mine the video semantic meaning. Experiments show that our video semantic mining method is efficient.
