Robust TV Stream Labelling with Conditional Random Fields
Abstract
Multi-label video annotation is a challenging task and a necessary first step for further processing. In this paper, we investigate the task of labelling TV stream segments into programs or several types of breaks through machine learning. Our contribution is twofold: 1) we propose to use simple yet efficient descriptors for this labelling task, 2) we show that Conditional Random Fields (CRF) are especially suited for this task. In particular, through several experiments, we show that CRF out-perform other machine learning techniques, while requiring few training data thanks to its ability to handle the different types of sequential information lying in our data.
