Action Recognition for Precise Video Scene Selection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing video recording technologies make it difficult for users to efficiently search and view specific scenes within recorded moving images, as users must often fast-forward or skip through unnecessary footage to find desired moments, leading to boredom and inefficiency.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device and method that recognizes the actions of a photographer or subject during image capture using sensors, allowing users to associate and select specific actions for targeted reproduction, thereby enabling precise scene selection and playback.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If users manually fast-forward or skip through recorded moving images to find specific scenes, then they can view the entire recorded content, but the time required to find desired scenes increases significantly and user experience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary analysis of the recorded moving image content before reproduction, automatically detecting and tagging specific scenes (such as faces, objects, or actions) during the recording phase. This preliminary processing enables users to directly access desired scenes without manual fast-forwarding, resolving the contradiction by preparing the data structure in advance to facilitate rapid scene retrieval.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary indexing system that acts as a mediator between the raw video content and user search queries. This intermediary layer automatically generates scene descriptors and metadata during recording, allowing users to search for and navigate to specific scenes through keywords or tags rather than manually scanning through the entire video, thus reducing time loss while maintaining ease of operation.
2Productivity
If action recognition technology is implemented to enable precise scene selection, then scene search efficiency improves, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates action recognition functionality into existing video recording devices by utilizing their existing sensors (accelerometers, gyroscopes, microphones) and processing units for multiple purposes: both standard video recording and action/scene recognition. This multi-functionality approach enables scene search efficiency improvement without requiring entirely separate dedicated hardware, thus limiting the increase in device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system employs self-service mechanisms where the recording device automatically performs action recognition and scene tagging without requiring external processing equipment. The device uses its own sensors and processors to analyze recorded content and generate searchable metadata, eliminating the need for complex external analysis systems and keeping the overall system complexity manageable while maintaining high scene search efficiency.
Data Source
AI summary
An information processing device includes a processing unit that recognizes an action based on sensor data output by a sensor and obtained in a same timing as a photographing timing of an image string. The processing unit associates information indicating the action as information for a selection of a reproduction position at a time of a reproduction of the image string with the image string. In addition, the processing unit extracts a plurality of features from the sensor data. The processing unit recognizes the action based on a time series of the plurality of features using a model for a recognition.
