This paper presents intermodal collaboration: a strategy for semantic content analysis for broadcasted sports video. The broadcasted video can be viewed as a set of multimodal streams such as visual, auditory, text (closed caption) and graphics streams. Collaborative analysis for the multimodal streams is achieved based on temporal dependency between their streams, in order to improve the reliability and efficiency for semantic content analysis such as extracting highlight scenes from sports video and automatically generating annotations of specific scenes. A couple of case studies are shown to experimentally confirm the effectiveness of intermodal collaboration.
This companion paper supports the replication of scene image recognition experiments using Adaptive Discriminative Region Discovery (Adi-Red), an approach presented at ACM Multimedia 2018. We provide a set of artifacts that allow the replication of the experiments using a Python implementation. All the experiments are covered in a single shell script, which requires the installation of an environment, following our instructions, or using ReproZip. The data sets (images and labels) are automatically downloaded, and the train-test splits used in the experiments are created. The first experiment is from the original paper, and the second supports exploration of the resolution of the scale-specific input image, an interesting additional parameter. For both experiments, five other parameters can be adjusted: the threshold used to select the number of discriminative patches, the number of scales used, the type of patch selection (Adi-Red, dense or random), the architecture and pre-training data set of the pre-trained CNN feature extractor. The final output includes four tables (original Table 1, Table 2 and Table 4, and a table for the resolution experiment) and two plots (original Figure 3 and Figure 4).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
