Abstract

This paper presents the use of video parsing and video analysistechniques to attain a radical change in Content Analysisprocesses. Content Analysis provides frameworks for a betterunderstanding of information, mass media information inparticular. The goals of the work presented in this paper are toassess the feasibility of designing Content Analysis processesunder much faster and much less manpowered conditions, to prove thepower and usefulness of some video parsing and analysis techniquesunder current inexpensive and widely available software and hardwareplatforms, and to emphasize that the characteristics of a givensituated use of a technological artifact often provide radicalsimplifications to the system requirements, and make it feasibletoday.
