Disclosed are systems, methods, and computer readable media having programs for classifying sports video. In one embodiment, a method includes: extracting, from an audio stream of a video clip, a plurality of key audio components contained therein; and classifying, using at least one of the plurality of key audio components, a sport type contained in the video clip. In one embodiment, a computer readable medium having a computer program for classifying ports video includes: logic configured to extract a plurality of key audio components from a video clip; and logic configured to classify a sport type corresponding to the video clip.

Systems and methods for classifying sports video

The present invention discloses a method of processing a sports video. The method includes the steps of: analyzing the sports video to detect at least one semantic event and each of the at least one semantic event associated with a segment length; and generating a summarized video according to the detected at least one semantic event.

Method for processing a sports video and apparatus thereof

Disclosed are systems and methods for generating and embedding scene processing information in a multimedia source. Scene processing information is generated based on an analysis of audio, video and data properties of the multimedia source. The embedded scene processing information can be extracted from the multimedia source to assist in generating playback of the multimedia source as well as generating a summarized playback of the multimedia source.

Systems and method for embedding scene processing information in a multimedia source using an importance value

A system and a method for generating effects in a webcam application are provided. The method includes identifying a first object and a second object in a video image. The method also includes adding a first user-created object to the video image to create an altered video image and adding a second user-created object to the altered video image to further alter the altered video image. Other steps included are associating the second user-created object with the second object; identifying a movement of the second object; and moving the second user-created object in the altered video image in accordance with the association of the second user-created object with the second object. The first object is a static object, and the first user-created object is manually movable. The movement of the second user-created object in association with the second object is independent of a movement of the first user-created object.

Generating effects in a webcam application

Disclosed are systems and methods for identifying a scene in a video or audio source containing sports content. A representative method includes: extracting audio data from a video source, the video source containing sports content, removing from the audio data sounds not producible by human, classifying scenes of the video source as important scenes of the video clip by analyzing the energy, pitch and tonality of at least one frame of the audio data and determining whether the at least one frame is an exciting scene.

Systems and methods for detecting exciting scenes in sports video

In a method for determining highlight segments of a sport video, the sport video having a plurality of image frames is analyzed to recognize a scoreboard image and a plurality of scoreboard characteristics thereof. The scoreboard image comprises at least one of the scoreboard characteristics. Then, a request message showing at least one recognized scoreboard characteristic is displayed on a user interface to receive a user response, wherein the user response includes a recognized result of one of the scoreboard characteristics. Finally, variations in the recognized scoreboard image among image frames can be monitored according to the user response. Therefore, the highlight segments of the sport video can be determined according to the variations.

Method and apparatus for determining highlight segments of sport video

A method for implementing an adaptive mixing energy ratio between at least two soundtracks of video footage in a video image-editing environment is disclosed, the process being transparent to a user beyond a single step of initiation. The method includes applying at least one video/audio analysis technique to a session of video footage, demarcating the footage into a plurality of segments, determining a mixing energy ratio for each of the segments according to the analysis, and interpolating the mixing energy ratios for the segments to produce a mixing energy ratio profile before applying the mixing energy ratio profile to the session of video footage.
