Transmission: various scenes of war Summary: The reaction of the federal parliament...

10.1 Example 10.1 Example Shots Anchorman in a studio Pan across a desert landscape Bombing of a city Refugees Anchorman in a studio Speech in the parliament Typical frames for all shots Usually represented by some key frame Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 7 Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 8 But how can shots be detected? With the introduction of MPEG-7 shot detection is ready-made Metadata standard The correct decomposition is already stored in the metadata Camera information is easy to extract But semantic annotation is unfortunately very expensive Archive material still needs a lot of manual work A clip consists of many scenes Images belonging to a scene are relatively similar to each other Example: anchorman in the newsroom, desert landscape For this reason, we do not have to index each individual frame to perform efficient video retrieval, but index only key frames Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 9 Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 10 Problems in finding key frames Detecting a scene transition with hard or soft transitions A hard transition is called a cut A soft transition dissolve (blending) or fade in/out Selecting a representative image, either by random selection, or with regard to the camera movement or an image with average characteristic values,... For grouping of frames into shots each transition has to be recognized With uncompressed videos Information from each image is optimally used but the procedure is relatively inefficient Or compressed videos E.g., only data about the change is available Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 11 Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 12 2

10.2 Template Matching Shot detection in uncompressed videos Template matching (Zhang and others, 1993) Pixel wise comparison: For each pixel (x, y) in the image, the value of the color of the pixel in this frame is compared with the color value in a later frame If the change between two frames is large enough (larger than a predefined threshold), a cut is assumed This only works for hard transitions D cut = Σ x, y I(x, y, t) - I(x, y, t + 1) It is impossible to distinguish small changes in a wide area of major changes in a small area Susceptible to noise, object movements and changes in camera angle Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 13 Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 14 10.2 Histograms Histogram-based methods (Tonomura, 1991) Assumption: frames containing identical foreground and background elements have a similar brightness distribution Classification based on the brightness values Histogram columns as the number of image pixels with a specified value 10.2 Histograms Let H(j, t) be the histogram value for the j th brightness value in frame t D cut = Σ j H( j, t ) H( j, t + 1) Once again using a predefined threshold we can decide whether there is a cut or not Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 15 Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 16 10.2 Histograms Histograms are invariant towards image rotation and change only slightly under Object translation Occlusions caused by moving objects Slow camera movements Zooming Significantly less error sensitive than template matching 10.2 Threshold Good choice of thresholds is important Too low thresholds produce false cuts Too high thresholds leads to missed cuts Selection depends on the type of videos (training) Choose the threshold such that as few cuts as possible are overlooked, but not too many false cuts are produced Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 17 Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 18 3

10.2 Threshold 10.2 Twin-Thresholding Selection, e.g., using distribution functions number Differences within the sequences Differences between sequences Selection by minimal error rate difference For smooth transitions (dissolves, fades,...) there are only small changes between consecutive transitions Still, the differences between the middle frames of different shots, are large enough Idea: use two thresholds One for the determination of hard cuts And one for the soft cuts Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 19 Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 20 10.2 Twin-Thresholding Twin comparisons (Zhang and others, 1993) Threshold t c corresponds to the size of an intolerable change in the pixel intensities Using a threshold t s we can detect possible origins of smooth transitions If a possible smooth transition is detected at time t, the frame is marked at this time as a reference frame The next frames are compared against this reference frame 10.2 Twin-Thresholding All differences of subsequent frames in the interval [t + 1, t + n] are not computed regarding the direct predecessor, but the reference frame t (for some fixed n) Only if the difference rises above the threshold t c, there is a smooth cut, otherwise differences are simply re-formed between consecutive frames Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 21 Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 22 10.2 Twin-Thresholding 10.2 Block-based Techniques Example: difference possible soft cut Block-based techniques try to avoid the problem of noise and different camera settings (Idris and Panchanathan, 1996) Each frame is divided into r blocks Local characteristics are calculated for each block Corresponding sub-frames are compared hard cut no soft cut soft cut time Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 23 Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 24 4

10.2 Block-based Techniques Advantages We can detect and ignore effects occurring in only part of the picture through block-wise comparison E.g., movement of the anchorman s head If a high number of the r blocks are the same in a sequence of two consecutive frames, this is an indication of the frames belonging to the same shot 10.2 Model-based Procedure There are only a small amount of possible transitions between two shots Idea: model the transitions as mathematical operations Characteristic temporal patterns in video streams can be detected Advantage: this doesn t only recognize transitions, but also their type Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 25 Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 26 10.2 Model-based Procedure E.g., a temporal model for fades When fading out the pictures of the first shot become darker. The brightness histogram is compressed in the x direction Then there are some (almost) black frames When fading in, the images of the second shot become brighter. The histogram is stretched in the x direction 10.2 Model-based Procedure This behavior can be interpreted as the application of mathematical operations on the histogram and observed on a stream of frames Defining the start and end of the fade out/in process delivers the shot boundaries Similar models can be set for other transitions (e.g., dissolve) Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 27 Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 28 10.2 E.g., Fade Out, Fade In 10.2 SD in Compressed Videos Shot detection in compressed videos Compressed storage is needed due to the size of video data Pixel-based methods for shot detection use uncompressed videos Very computationally intensive Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 29 Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 30 5

10.2 SD in Compressed Videos 10.2 MPEG Compression Shot detection is possible also on the compressed data however trading between efficiency and accuracy Approaches are based on the MPEG compression information Cosine transformation coefficients Motion vectors information Compression based on the encoding of changes between frames I-frames are independently coded (I: independent) P-frames are encoded with change information from preceding I or P-frames (P: predicted) B-frames are interpolations between two P or I and P frame (bi-directional) B-frames can thus be calculated both from the preceding, and from the subsequent frame (depending on the encoder) Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 31 Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 32 10.2 MPEG Compression 10.2 Cosine Transformation A shot is thus a chain of I-, P-and B-frames: IBPBPBIBPBP... The video stream is rearranged for transmission: IPBPBPBIPBP... I-frames are usually compressed with discrete cosine transform (DCT) E.g., MPEG, H.264, MotionJPEG,... Each image is divided into blocks (e.g., 8x8 pixels in JPEG) Each block is separately transformed using DCT The first coefficient (DC) of the DCT is the average intensity of the block A DC-frame is created by using only the DCs of all the blocks and ignore all the higher coefficients Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 33 Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 34 10.2 Cosine Transformation 10.2 Shot Boundaries in MPEG A sequence of DC frames is called DC sequence. DC sequences abstract video clips without having to decode them Taskiran and Delp, 1998 form generalized traces traces of features extracted from DC frames Scene change detection can be performed on these trace features by using a threshold Advantages of using I-frames They are independently encoded Direct access to the DC component to measure differences between two consecutive I-frames Accuracy: between two I-frames there usually are about 15 B-and P-frames Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 35 Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 36 6

10.2 Motion Vectors 10.2 Hybrid Approaches (Block) motion vectors can be extracted directly from an MPEG bitstream Observation: the number of motion vectors, in consecutive frames belonging to the same shot is similar Example of shot detection (Zhang et al., 1993) Determine the number of motion vectors in the P- and B-frames If this number is smaller than a specified threshold, then it probably represents a shot boundary Procedures for the use of DCT coefficients and motion vectors can be combined Increase the recognition accuracy Utilization of various frame types in MPEG E.g., Meng and others, 1995 Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 37 Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 38 Shot detection at work with MSU Video tool. Shot detection algorithms: Pixelwise comparison Global histogram Block based histogram Motion based detection Example: Avatar movie trailer E.g., shot detection on Avatar movie trailer Motion based Pixel level Global Histogram Block-based Histogram Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 39 Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 40 10.3 Statistical Structural Models Idea: decomposition of a video in semantic units (shots) Previously: low level primitives (brightness, color information, movements,...) Now: perceptional features (e.g., visual structure of the whole video) Film theory: stylistic elements Montage: temporal structure, editing,... Mis-en-scene: spatial structure, scenery, lighting, camera position,... 10.3 Statistical Structural Models Goal: build models of stylistic elements Allows the extraction semantic features for the characterization and classification Provides background information for the use of low level features to shot boundary detection Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 41 Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 42 7

10.3 Example 10.3 Example Trailer for movie arranged according to average shot length (montage) and activity during shots (Mis-en-scene) Shot duration and shot activity are very rough categories, but have equivalents in movie directing Basic trend: the shorter the shot, the higher the action (and vice versa) If we widely divide the movies into categories action film, comedy and love movies, then we can cluster according to these categories Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 43 Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 44 10.3 Example 10.3 Example Clusters can be explained through film theory If emotions have to be transferred then long passages of text and detailed facial expressions (a long closeup) are required The development of a character and his connection with the audience takes time Charles Chaplin: Tragedy is a close-up, comedy a long shot. Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 45 Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 46 10.3 Example For action or suspense, rhythmic patterns are used (e.g., Psycho or Birds by Hitchcock) Fast cuts require a continuous adaptation of the viewer and create confusion Long dialogues are unnecessary, people express themselves through acts 10.3 Video Structure Semantic structure assists in categorizing Either based on film theory Or learned from a sample collection From high-level structure patterns emerge more semantics than from low level features Statistical inference Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 47 Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 48 8

10.3 Assumption 10.3 Classical Elements The more a video is structured, the more semantic information can be derived from it News programs are highly structured and relatively easy to fragment Home made videos are mostly unstructured and almost impossible to fragment The classical element of the movie direction is the shot duration Classic elements of the mis-en-scene are more difficult to capture Activity in scenes is important Not only between actors (explosions,...) Often correlates to violence But also mood (e.g., brightness, colors) Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 49 Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 50 10.4 Temporal Models Temporal video structure: shot boundaries can be modeled as a series of events occurring in succession Queuing theory: arrivals of persons Modeling through a Poisson process Number of events in a fixed time interval follows a Poisson distribution Temporal distance between two successive events is exponentially distributed 10.4 Temporal Video Structure Problem 1: exponential distribution leads to many short, but very few long shots Problem 2: exponential distribution has no memory, i.e., the probability that within the next t>0 time units a shot change will happen, is independent of t Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 51 Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 52 10.4 Temporal Video Structure Alternative models: shot durations are not exponentially distributed, but follow distributions like Erlang distribution Weibull distribution Objective: estimate the model parameters from a training collection, were the shot boundary is manually determined Maximum likelihood estimate This knowledge can then assist in the detection of shot boundary of unknown videos Consider shot durations are Erlang distributed The length τ of a (fixed) shot has probability density Generalization of the exponential distribution (r = 1) Expected value (average shot duration): r/λ The sum of r independent random variables exponentially distributed with parameter λ is (r, λ)-erlang distributed Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 53 Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 54 9

r = 1, λ = ½ r = 2, λ = ½ r = 3, λ = ½ r = 5, λ = 1 r = 9, λ = 2 The sum of r independent random variables exponentially distributed with parameter λ is (r, λ)-erlang distributed It represents a Poisson process since only exactly each r- th event is counted r = 2: structure of the context of the whole image, followed by a zoom on the essential details r = 3: emotional development, followed by an action, followed by the result of this action Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 55 Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 56 Likelihood function for a single Erlangdistributed random variable: Corresponding log-likelihood function: Choose the optimal parameters r and λ for a sample of N independent and identically Erlang distributed random variables: Optimization problem over a discrete variable (r) and a continuous variable (λ) Film theory: r is small Brute-force solution: Test all r = 1,..., 10 and compute the optimal λ Choose the pair (r, λ) that maximizes the above expression Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 57 Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 58 If r is known then the determination is simplified Estimation of the parameters r and λ from a training collection: Derivative with respect to λ and zero values returns: Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 59 Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 60 10

Erlang distribution solves the first problem (distribution of shot durations) Problem 2, however, remains The Erlang distribution itself has memory but the exponentially distributed random variables underlying each shot have no memory Solution: Weibull distribution (a generalization of the exponential distribution) 10.5 SD through Shot Activity To assess the activity within one shot, we can again rely on low level features One possibility: the difference of color histograms of two consecutive frames Goal: determine a statistical model for the activity within one shots with the help of histograms Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 61 Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 62 10.5 Shot Activity Film theory: continuity in editing In order not to confuse the audience, the frames separated through cuts should differ clearly Segment the video into regular frames (state S = 0) and shot boundary (S = 1) Attempts to classify each frame either as regular frame or shot-boundary Additionally use low level features such as color histograms 10.5 Shot Activity Experience: Training data for shot activity can not be approximated good enough by means of standard deviation Therefore use several different distribution components (Vasconcelos and Lippman, 2000) Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 63 Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 64 10.5 Shot Activity Activity within shots (S = 0) 10.5 Shot Activity Activity in shot transitions (S = 1) Mixture of four random variables: three Erlang distributed one uniform distributed Mixture of two random variables: a normal, and a uniform distribution Distance Distance Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 65 Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 66 11

10.5 Shot Boundary Detection 10.5 Shot Boundary Detection Application of statistics: Given: two frames, there are two hypotheses: H 0 : there is no cut in between (S = 0) H 1 : there is a cut in between (S = 1) Likelihood ratio test: choose H 1 if > (or equivalently: ) and H 0 otherwise (D is the measured distance between the two frames) The likelihood ratio test uses no knowledge about typical shot duration However, we know the a-priori distribution of the shot duration (or we can at least estimate it) Therefore, we now use Bayesian statistics to test the two hypotheses We obtain in this way a generalization of the basic thresholding method for histogram differences Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 67 Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 68 10.5 Shot Boundary Detection 10.5 Shot Boundary Detection Notation: δ: duration of each frame (constant, determined by frame rate) S t, t + δ : indicates whether there is a shot boundary between frame t and his immediate successors (or not) D t, t + δ : distance between frame t and his immediate successors S t : vector with components S 0, δ, S δ,2δ,..., S t, t + δ D t : vector with components D 0, δ, D δ,2δ,..., D t, t + δ Hypothesis H 1 (there is a shot change) is valid, if Equivalent formulation: log > 0 > Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 69 Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 70 10.5 Shot Boundary Detection 10.5 Shot Boundary Detection If there was a cut at time t, and none in the interval [t, t + τ], then the probability for a cut in the interval [t + τ, t + τ + δ ] according to Bayes, is: Thus: γ is a normalization constant On the other hand, the probability that there is no cut, is: Supposition: D t, t + δ is conditionally independent (with S t, t + δ ) from all other D and S Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 71 Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 72 12

10.5 Shot Boundary Detection 10.5 Hypothesis Verification Behavior of conditional probabilities for activity (is estimated from the training collection, shot activity) Behavior of the probabilities for cuts (estimated from the training collection, distribution of shot duration) So hypothesis H 1 is valid if the logarithm of the above expression is positive Intuitive interpretation The left side uses information about the normal frame distances within shots and shot transitions The right part uses knowledge regarding the normal distribution of the shot duration (a priori probability) Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 73 Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 74 10.5 Hypothesis Verification Define with t as the time of the last cut Let be the distribution density of the elapsed time from t until the first cut after t The log posterior odds ratio is then: 10.5 Hypothesis Verification According to our initial Bayesian approach, we can decide whether there is a shot transition at point or not, by using the following threshold based estimation If the last cut took place at time t, and we now observe, then and only then there is a new cut, if applicable: (same as, just different notation) : Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 75 Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 76 10.5 Hypothesis Verification 10.5 Erlang Model : Density function of the Erlang distribution: This means: with the introduction of a priori probability, the verification of our hypotheses doesn t depend anymore from a fixed threshold The threshold changes dynamically with the time elapsed since the last cut The density can be assumed to be an Erlang or Weibull distribution density For the Erlang model, the following threshold function results: Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 77 Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 78 13

10.5 Erlang Model 10.5 Erlang Model Typical time distribution of thresholds: Initially, the threshold is high Cuts are unlikely Cuts are therefore accepted only if the frame differences are very large Then, the threshold drops Cuts are accepted for clearly less changes to the features Problem is the asymptotic convergence to a positive value Constant level for several consecutive soft cuts Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 79 Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 80 10.5 Erlang Model 10.5 Experimental Verification For all Erlang Thresholds we have: and thus there is always such a boundary line Threshold The problem comes from the assumption of the underlying exponential distribution in the Erlang model Also here is the solution the Weibull distribution Experimental verification (Vasconcelos and Lippman, 2000) Test within a collection cinema trailers Training (determination of model parameters) with the objects from the collection Task: segmentation of a new trailer ( Blankman ) Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 81 Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 82 10.5 Experimental Verification 10.5 Experimental Verification Trailer for Blankman For each trailer simple color histogram distances were used for determining the selected activity The fixed threshold was chosen as good as possible (through tests) O : Missed cut * : False estimated cut Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 83 Multimedia Databases Wolf-Tilo Balke Institut für Informationssysteme TU Braunschweig 84 14
