Practical Video and Animation Retrieval in E-moviemaking System

摘要

In this paper, we mainly introduce how to apply current advanced techniques on implementing video annotation-metadata-based and content-based retrieval system EMMVR for reusing video clips and computer-generated animation extracted from video library, where EMM (Electronic-MovieMaker) is a software tool we are developing that can interpret the textual screenplay into the movie with the visual effects of 3D animation and real images, and their simple composition. A suitable multi-category (hierarchical and stratified) video modeling and multi-modal query by text and example mechanism with semantic video indexing using visual features, non-visual features, and sound cues are constructed based on MPEG-7 from the perspective of virtual film director by taking advantage of filmmaking ontology.
