A multi-view intelligent editor for digital video libraries

Abstract

Silver is an authoring tool that aims to allow novice users to edit digital video. The goal is to make editing of digital video as easy as text editing. Silver provides multiple coordinated views, including project, source, outline, subject, storyboard, textual transcript and timeline views. Selections and edits in any view are synchronized with all other views. A variety of recognition algorithms are applied to the video and audio content and then are used to aid in the editing tasks. The Informedia Digital Library supplies the recognition algorithms and metadata used to support intelligent editing, and Informedia also provides search and a repository. The metadata includes shot boundaries and a time-synchronized transcript, which are used to support intelligent selection and intelligent cut/copy/paste.

Fluid interaction techniques for the control and annotation of digital video

“…SILVER [13] is a video-editing tool that presents a number of interaction and visualization techniques. Of particular interest to us is the system's Timeline View, which displays an explicit 3-level hierarchy that is defined when the user zooms down into a video segment This hierarchy is useful for navigating through the time-line of the video.…”

Rhetorical video argument analysis

“…The diversity of the viewer's backgrounds and characteristics will determine the understanding of differences and acceptance of a subject through the rhetorical video [4]. However, understanding their differences and acceptances need some observation in order to determine and identify viewer's behaviors and practices based on rhetorical video.…”

Video-as-Data and Digital Video Manipulation Techniques for Transforming Learning Sciences Research, Education, and Other Cultural Practices

“…A number of projects over the past 5 years (e.g., Chiu et al, 2001;Fiala et al, 2004;Lee et al, 2002;Myers et al, 2001;Stiefelhagen et al, 2002;Yang et al, 1999;Young, 2001) have explored how to provide business and technology groups with the capability of returning to context captured from rich media records of their meetings, from automatic indexing, and other methods. The general idea is that one can use video to enable persistent context for ongoing teamwork, building in a cumulative way on prior meetings and design decisions, and continuing to excavate information that may come to have subsequent value.…”
