Abstract
During the last years, digital lecture libraries and lecture video portals have become more and more popular. However, finding efficient methods for indexing multimedia still remains a challenging task. Since the text displayed in a lecture video is closely related to the lecture content, it provides a valuable source for indexing and retrieving lecture contents. In this paper, we present an approach for automatic lecture video indexing based on video OCR technology. We have developed a novel video segmenter for automated slide video structure analysis and a weighted DCT (discrete cosines transformation) based text detector. A dynamic image constrast/brightness adaption serves the purpose of enhancing the text image quality to make it processible by existing common OCR software. Time-based text occurence information as well as the analyzed text content are further used for indexing. We prove the accuracy of the proposed approach by evaluation.
