Hierarchical vs non hierarchical audio indexation and classification for video genres
In this paper, Support Vector Machines (SVMs) are used for segmenting and indexing video genres based on only audio features extracted at block level, which has a prominent asset by capturing local temporal information. The main contribution of our study is to show the wide effect on the classification accuracies while using an hierarchical categorization structure based on Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) audio descriptor. In fact, the classification consists in three common video genres: sports videos, music clips and news scenes. The sub classification may divide each genre into several multi speaker and multi dialect sub genres. The validation of this approach was carried out on over 360 minutes of video span yielding a classification accuracy of over 99%
