Abstract:
1. An image-sound segment corresponding method comprising: an image segment classification step that analyzes an input video to generate a plurality of image segment groups, each of the image segment groups including a plurality of image segments which include an identical object; a sound segment classification step that analyzes the input video to generate a plurality of sound segment groups, each of the sound segment groups including a plurality of sound segments which include an identical object; an inter-segment group score calculation step that calculates a similarity score between each image segment group and each sound segment group, based on times respectively obtained from time points of a start point and an end point of each image segment and from time points of a start point and an end point of each sound segment, during which at least one of the image segment group and the sound segment group is present; for each combination of the image segment group and the sound segment group; and a segment group correspondence decision step that decides, using the scores, whether or not an object in the image segment groups and an object in the sound segment groups are the same to make correspondence between the image segment group and the sound segment group, wherein the image segment includes a segment generated by dividing a video based on a time position of an appearance or a disappearance of an object including at least one of a human face and another identifiable object, and the sound segment includes a segment generated by dividing a video based on a time position of an appearance or a disappearance of a sound including at least one of a human voice and another distinguishable sound.
