Detection of TV news monologues by style analysis

We propose a method for detection of semantic concepts in produced video based on style analysis. Recognition of concepts is done by applying a classifier ensemble to the detected style elements. As a case study we present a method for detecting the concept of news subject monologues. Our approach had the best average precision performance amongst 26 submissions in the 2003 TRECVID benchmark
