XVIP: An XML-Based Video Information Processing System

We describe XVIP, an XML-based video information processing system, which extracts information from video and stores the information in a multimedia digital video library. XVIP encapsulates a number of extraction techniques, including scene change detection, video optical character detection and recognition, and geometric coding. It also provides a seamless approach to scale up the contents created in and delivered by the target multimedia digital video library. Furthermore, XVIP can handle multilingual contents. XVIP is based on a multi-modal concept, which treats each content extraction component as a modality, and users can easily add new modalities into XVIP. The information extracted from the video is then stored in a flexible, scalable and reusable way based on a generic XML structure, providing a convenient mechanism for data representation on Web browsers. Also, the content in the XML file can be used to perform knowledge enrichment on top of the primary information extracted ...
