Title
An Ontology Framework For Knowledge-Assisted Semantic Video Analysis and Annotation
Abstract
An approach for knowledge assisted semantic analysis and annotation of video content, based on an ontology infrastructure is pre- sented. Semantic concepts in the context of the examined domain are defined in an ontology, enriched with qualitative attributes of the se- mantic objects (e.g. color homogeneity), multimedia processing methods (color clustering, respectively), and numerical data or low-level features generated via training (e.g. color models, also defined in the ontology). Semantic Web technologies are used for knowledge representation in RDF/RDFS language. Rules in F-logic are defined to describe how tools for multimedia analysis should be applied according to different object attributes and low-level features, aiming at the detection of video objects corresponding to the semantic concepts defined in the ontology. This sup- ports flexible and managed execution of various application and domain independent multimedia analysis tasks. This ontology-based approach provides the means of generating semantic metadata and as a conse- quence Semantic Web services and applications have a greater chance of discovering and exploiting the information and knowledge in multimedia data. The proposed approach is demonstrated in the Formula One and Football domains and shows promising results.
