Abstract

This paper demonstrates a new approach to detecting high-level events that may be depicted in images or video frames. Given a non-annotated content item, a large number of previously trained visual concept detectors are applied to it and their responses are used for representing the content item with a model vector in a high-dimensional concept space. Subsequently, an improved subclass discriminant analysis method is used for identifying a concept subspace within the aforementioned concept space, that is most appropriate for detecting and recognizing the target high-level events. In this subspace, the nearest neighbor rule is used for comparing the non-annotated content item with a few known example instances of the target events. The high-level events used as target events in the present version of the system are those defined for the TRECVID 2010 Multimedia Event Detection (MED) task.
