On Selective Video Content Analysis And Filtering . Consumer digital video devices are becoming computing platforms . As computing platforms , digital video devices are capable of crunching the compressed bits into the best displayable picture and delivering enhanced services . Although these devices will primarily aim to continue their traditional functions of display and storage , there are additional functions such as content management for real-time and stored video , tele-shopping , banking , Internet connectivity , and interactive services , which the device could also handle . In this paper we will present the elements of an architecture for a video content filtering system . The automatic extraction and abstraction of video information from the TV broadcast requires reliable methods for characterizing different aspects of the video signal . The methods encompass meta-data , visual , audio , and transcript processing . Furthermore by combining the evidence from multiple information sources such as meta-data , transcript information , extracted superimposed text , visual segmentation and audio classification information , the system can deliver a host of features to the end consumer . We have implemented and experimented with different features for the characterization of video segments (primary broadcast segment) such as cut detection , text extraction , commercial isolation , frame and shot similarity , and closed captioning .
