Interdisziplinäres Projekt/IDP (IN): Developement and Improvement of a Versatile Video Feature/Content Extractor

Aktuelles, offen, Forschungspraxis, Philipp Paukner |


In this IDP an existing python package for extracting low-level audio features, still image features and motion features will be improved and extended. The goal is to provide a set of (sequential) features for a video that are interpretable and can be used for tasks like affective video content analysis, video summarization, action recognition. In particular, there is interest in using already existing, pre-trained deep learning models to create a set of a sort of "high level" features. Applications like Object Detection, Face Detection and Recognition, Facial Expression Recognition, Emotion Recognition from Speech, Image Captioning, Speech-to-Text etc. are possible.
Furthermore, it will be evaluated how the results of this high-level feature extraction can be stored for further processing.
