The Multimedian Concert-Video Browser

The MultimediaN concert-video browser demonstrates a video interaction environment for efficiently browsing video registrations of pop, rock and other music concerts. The exhibition displays the current state of the project for developing an advanced concert-video browser in 2007. Three demos are provided: 1) a high-level content analysis methodology for modeling the “experience” of the concert at its different stages, and for automatically detecting and identifying semantically coherent temporal segments in concert videos, 2) a general-purpose video editor that associates semantic descriptions with the video segments using both manual and automatic inputs, and a video browser that applies ideas from information foraging theory and demonstrates patch-based video browsing, 3) the Fabplayer, specifically designed for patch-based browsing of concert videos by a dedicated user-group, making use of the results of automatic concert-video segmentation.
