Indexed Captioned Searchable Videos Cecilia Y. Chen University of Houston July 11,2012
Introduction • Usage of video to deliver coursework online: commonplace • Evidence for video usage: - MIT OpenCourseware , - Apple’s iTunes University - YouTube Edu
Classroom lecture videos widely used at University of Houston • Tablet PC recordings
Survey focus group: • Video lectures : powerful and versatile resource • The biggest weakness of the video format : Inability to quickly access the content of interest
ICS Videos • Indexing: Segmented videos • Search: Keyword search in video • Captioning: Scrolling text for audio • Integrated in ICS Video Player • Project Goal: Quick access to video content
Indexing: Finding Transition Points • Indexing : dividing video into segments; • User can start playback from any index frame • Transition Point: is a frame that has changes significantly when compared to another frame.
Image approach: comparing images by pixel to find transition points • Text approach: comparing images using text to find transition points using OCR(Optical Character Recognition)
Preliminary Results • There are special cases that is a lot faster to use the text approach • When a video is processed with text comparison at the end the difference in time to process might not be that significant • Most of the time the text comparison will recognize transition points accurately
