An Efficient Method for Automatic Video Annotation and Retrieval in Visual Sensor Networks

Automatic video annotation has become an important issue in visual sensor networks, due to the existence of a semantic gap. Although it has been studied extensively, semantic representation of visual information is not well understood. To address the problem of pattern classification in video annota...

description Automatic video annotation has become an important issue in visual sensor networks, due to the existence of a semantic gap. Although it has been studied extensively, semantic representation of visual information is not well understood. To address the problem of pattern classification in video annotation, this paper proposes a discriminative constraint to find a solution to approach the sparse representative coefficients with discrimination. We study a general method of discriminative dictionary learning which is independent of the specific dictionary and classifier learning algorithms. Furthermore, a tightly coupled discriminative sparse coding model is introduced. Ultimately, the experimental results show that the provided method offers a better video annotation method that cannot be achieved with existing schemes.
