NewsBR: a content-based news video browsing and retrieval system

An advanced content-based news video browsing and retrieval system, NewsBR, is proposed in this work. The system is built on high-accuracy news story segmentation and topic caption text extraction. Its main features include category-based news story browsing, key-frame-based video abstract and keyword-based news story retrieval. In the paper, news story segmentation and topic caption text extraction, as well as content-based video browsing and retrieval, are addressed in detail. The system is helpful and effective for the overall understanding of the news video content.
