Fast annotation of video objects for interactive TV

In this demonstration, we present the Annotation Tool that is being developed in the porTiVity project to annotate video objects for Interactive Television programs. This tool includes various video processing components to structure and speed-up the annotation process, such as shot segmentation, key-frame extraction, object tracking and object redetection. A specific feature is that the tool includes a preprocessing phase where a quantity of information is precomputed, so that the annotation itself can be done quite rapidly.
