Abstract:
We can obtain many interesting aspects only by watching television, *e.g.,* what's going on in Japan and the world, what is the current trends, how is economic activities, and so on. This talk will introduce couple of trials to automatically analyze such information by computers. Especially, with NII TV-RECS video archive containing 300,000 hours of broadcast videos, we developed and deployed couple of key technologies including face detection and matching, fast commercial film mining, and visual object retrieval towards social analysis tools.
