Semi-Automated Logging for Professional Media Applications
Abstract
We report a novel method for logging and annotating video footage specifically for professional post-production and archivist end users. SALSA - Semi-Automated Logging with Semantic Annotation - is a hybrid system that utilises automated footage analysis for cut detection and camera movement classification, in conjunction with a stenographic-like keyboard input system to enable the logging of higher-level semantic information. Output is presented in both standard printed log form, with the addition of mosaic visual representations of shots, and in a fully searchable database. Results from preliminary experiments are reported.
