Description
Video analysts have to sift through voluminous video data to extract information of interest. The NGA uses the VNIIRS scale to rate videos with subjective interpretability. VNIIRS rating provides a meaningful way of organizing video browsing and search. Manually annotating videos with VNIIRS rating however, is very tedious. We propose to develop an automated tool which uses several cues such as motion, object detection and classification to identify information contained in videos. We will evaluate the proposed automated method by conducting a statistical evaluation against manual VNIIRS annotation.
