Abstract-The exploitation of video data requires methods able to extract high-level information from the images. Video summarization, video retrieval, or video surveillance are examples of applications. In this paper, we tackle the challenging problem of recognizing dynamic video contents from low-level motion features. We adopt a statistical approach involving modeling, (supervised) learning, and classification issues. Because of the diversity of video content (even for a given class of events), we have to design appropriate models of visual motion and learn them from videos. We have defined original parsimonious global probabilistic motion models, both for the dominant image motion (assumed to be due to the camera motion) and the residual image motion (related to scene motion). Motion measurements include affine motion models to capture the camera motion and low-level local motion features to account for scene motion. Motion learning and recognition are solved using maximum likelihood criteria. To validate the interest of the proposed motion modeling and recognition framework, we report dynamic content recognition results on sports videos.
To take into account camera motion, REF define global probabilistic motion models for both the dominant image motion (assumed to be due to camera motion) and the residual image motion (related to scene motion) to recognize dynamic video content.
