Method and apparatus for linking a video segment to another segment or information source
InactiveUS7356830B1Improve interactivityTelevision system detailsPulse modulation television signal transmissionVideo processingHandling system
A given video segment is configured to include links to one or more other video segments or information sources. The given video segment is processed in a video processing system to determine an association between an object, entity, characterization or other feature of the segment and at least one additional information source containing the same feature. The association is then utilized to access information from the additional information source, such that the accessed information can be displayed to a user in conjunction with or in place of the original video segment. A set of associations for the video segment can be stored in a database or other memory of the processing system, or incorporated into the video segment itself, e.g., in a transport stream of the video segment. The additional information source may be, e.g., an additional video segment which includes the designated feature, or a source of audio, text or other information containing the designated feature. The feature may be a video feature extracted from a frame of the video segment, e.g., an identification of a particular face, scene, event or object in the frame, an audio feature such as a music signature extraction, a speaker identification, or a transcript extraction, or a textual feature. The invention allows a user to access information by clicking on or otherwise selecting an object or other feature in a displayed video segment, thereby facilitating the retrieval of information related to that segment.

It is proposed a text-independent automatic speaker recognition (ASkR) system which employs a new speech feature and a new classifier. The statistical feature pH is a vector of Hurst parameters obtained by applying a wavelet-based multi-dimensional estimator (M dim wavelets) to the windowed short-time segments of speech. The proposed classifier for the speaker identification and verification tasks is based on the multi-dimensional fBm (fractional Brownian motion) model, denoted by M dim fBm.

The invention discloses a sparse representation based short-voice speaker recognition method, which belongs to the technical field of voice signal processing and pattern recognition, and aims to solve the problem that the existing method is low in recognition rate under limited voice data conditions. The method mainly comprises the following steps: (1) pretreating all voice samples, and then extracting Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients and first-order difference coefficients thereof as characteristic; (2) training a gaussian background model by a background voice library, and extracting gaussian supervectors as secondary characteristics; (3) arranging the gaussian supervectors for training voice samples together so as to form a dictionary; and (4) solving an expression coefficient by using a sparse solving algorithm, reconstructing signals, and determining a recognition result according to a minimized residual error. According to the invention, the gaussian supervectors obtained through self-adaption can greatly relieve the problem that the personality characteristics of a speaker are expressed insufficiently due to limited voice data; through carrying out classification by using sparsely represented reconstructed residual errors, a speaker model mismatch problem caused by mismatched semantic information can be handled.
