Abstract

In E-learning, structure analysis of lecture video is the first step for effective and efficient indexing, browsing and retrieval. A hierarchical model of narrative structure for lecture video is introduced. The root is lecture video; the next is layer of narrative elements conveying meaningful information in semantics; then is narrative features layer closely to both visual and auditory physical features. A framework is proposed to analyze narrative structure. Extraction of narrative features is described as well. Hierarchical hidden Markov model is introduced to determine the parameters and detect narrative elements automatically.
