A content-based broadcasted sports video retrieval system using multiple modalities: SportBR

Abstract With the rapid growth of the volume of video data and the development of multimedia technologies, it has become necessary to have the ability to accurately and quickly browse and search through information stored in large multimedia databases. For this purpose, content-based video retrieval ( CBVR ) has become an active area of research over the last decade. In this paper, We propose a content-based video retrieval system providing similar videos from a large multimedia data-set based on a query video. The approach uses vector motion-based signatures to describe the visual content and uses machine learning techniques to extract key-frames for rapid browsing and efficient video indexing. We have implemented the proposed approach on both, single machine and real-time distributed cluster to evaluate the real-time performance aspect, especially when the number and size of videos are large. Experiments are performed using various benchmark action and activity recognition data-sets and the results reveal the effectiveness of the proposed method in both accuracy and processing time compared to state-of-the-art methods.

Traditional text annotation-based video retrieval is done by manually labeling videos with text, which is inefficient and highly subjective and generally cannot accurately describe the meaning of videos. Traditional content-based video retrieval uses convolutional neural networks to extract the underlying feature information of images to build indexes and achieves similarity retrieval of video feature vectors according to certain similarity measure algorithms. In this paper, by studying the characteristics of sports videos, we propose the histogram difference method based on using transfer learning and the four-step method based on block matching for mutation detection and fading detection of video shots, respectively. By adaptive thresholding, regions with large frame difference changes are marked as candidate regions for shots, and then the shot boundaries are determined by mutation detection algorithm. Combined with the characteristics of sports video, this paper proposes a key frame extraction method based on clustering and optical flow analysis, and experimental comparison with the traditional clustering method. In addition, this paper proposes a key frame extraction algorithm based on clustering and optical flow analysis for key frame extraction of sports video. The algorithm effectively removes the redundant frames, and the extracted key frames are more representative. Through extensive experiments, the keyword fuzzy finding algorithm based on improved deep neural network and ontology semantic expansion proposed in this paper shows a more desirable retrieval performance, and it is feasible to use this method for video underlying feature extraction, annotation, and keyword finding, and one of the outstanding features of the algorithm is that it can quickly and effectively retrieve the desired video in a large number of Internet video resources, reducing the false detection rate and leakage rate while improving the fidelity, which basically meets people’s daily needs.
