Existing video indexing and retrieval methods on popular web-based multimedia sharing websites are based on user-provided sparse tagging. This paper proposes a very specific way of searching for video clips, based on the content of the video. We present our work on Content-based Video Indexing and Retrieval using the Correspondence-Latent Dirichlet Allocation (corr-LDA) probabilistic framework. This is a model that provides for auto-annotation of videos in a database with textual descriptors, and brings the added benefit of utilizing the semantic relations between the content of the video and text. We use the concept-level matching provided by corr-LDA to build correspondences between text and multimedia, with the objective of retrieving content with increased accuracy. In our experiments, we employ only the audio components of the individual recordings and compare our results with an SVM-based approach.
In recent years research has focused on the use of internal features of images and videos computed in an automated or semi-automated way @cite_1 . Automated analysis calculates statistics, which can be approximately correlated to the content features. This is useful as it provides information without costly human interaction.

Now a days, the Data Engineering becoming emerging trend to discover knowledge from web audio- visual data such as- YouTube videos, Yahoo Screen, Face Book videos etc. Different categories of web video are being shared on such social websites and are being used by the billions of users all over the world. The uploaded web videos will have different kind of metadata as attribute information of the video data. The metadata attributes defines the contents and features characteristics of the web videos conceptually. Hence, accomplishing web video mining by extracting features of web videos in terms of metadata is a challenging task. In this work, effective attempts are made to classify and predict the metadata features of web videos such as length of the web videos, number of comments of the web videos, ratings information and view counts of the web videos using data mining algorithms such as Decision tree J48 and navie Bayesian algorithms as a part of web video mining. The results of Decision tree J48 and navie Bayesian classification models are analyzed and compared as a step in the process of knowledge discovery from web videos. Automatic video keyword generation is one of the key ingredients in reducing the burden of security officers in analyzing surveillance videos. Keywords or attributes are generally chosen manually based on expert knowledge of surveillance. Most existing works primarily aim at either supervised learning approaches relying on extensive manual labelling or hierarchical probabilistic models that assume the features are extracted using the bag-of-words approach; thus limiting the utilization of the other features. To address this, we turn our attention to automatic attribute discovery approaches. However, it is not clear which automatic discovery approach can discover the most meaningful attributes. Furthermore, little research has been done on how to compare and choose the best automatic attribute discovery methods. In this paper, we propose a novel approach, based on the shared structure exhibited amongst meaningful attributes, that enables us to compare between different automatic attribute discovery approaches. We then validate our approach by comparing various attribute discovery methods such as PiCoDeS on two attribute datasets. The evaluation shows that our approach is able to select the automatic discovery approach that discovers the most meaningful attributes. We then employ the best discovery approach to generate keywords for videos recorded from a surveillance system. This work shows it is possible to massively reduce the amount of manual work in generating video keywords without limiting ourselves to a particular video feature descriptor. User-generated video collections are expanding rapidly in recent years, and systems for automatic analysis of these collections are in high demands. While extensive research efforts have been devoted to recognizing semantics like "birthday party" and "skiing", little attempts have been made to understand the emotions carried by the videos, e.g., "joy" and "sadness". In this paper, we propose a comprehensive computational framework for predicting emotions in user-generated videos. We first introduce a rigorously designed dataset collected from popular video-sharing websites with manual annotations, which can serve as a valuable benchmark for future research. A large set of features are extracted from this dataset, ranging from popular low-level visual descriptors, audio features, to high-level semantic attributes. Results of a comprehensive set of experiments indicate that combining multiple types of features--such as the joint use of the audio and visual clues--is important, and attribute features such as those containing sentiment-level semantics are very effective. Nowadays, video surveillance scenarios usually rely on manually annotated focus areas to constrain automatic video analysis tasks. Although manual annotation simplifies several stages of the analysis, its use hinders the scalability of the developed solutions and might induce operational problems in scenarios recorded with multiple moving cameras (MMCs). To tackle these problems, an automatic method for the cooperative extraction of areas of interest (AoIs) is proposed. Each captured frame is segmented into regions with semantic roles using a state-of-the-art method. Semantic evidences from different junctures, cameras, and points-of-view are, then, spatio-temporally aligned on a common ground plane. Experimental results on widely used datasets recorded with multiple but static cameras suggest that this process provides broader and more accurate AoIs than those manually defined in the datasets. Moreover, the proposed method naturally determines the projection of obstacles and functional objects in the scene, paving the road towards systems focused on the automatic analysis of human behavior. To our knowledge, this is the first study dealing with this problem, as evidenced by the lack of publicly available MMC benchmarks. To also cope with this issue, we provide a new MMC dataset with associated semantic scene annotations.
