Intelligent browsing of concert videos

The MultimediaN concert-video browser demonstrates a video interaction environment for efficiently browsing the live performance records in the pop, rock and other music concerts. The underlying automatic analyzer extracts the instrumental solos and applause sections in the concert videos and also the level of excitement along the performances. The extracted information is provided to the user via a web-based interface to let them enjoy a much more advanced experience of browsing through the concerts. Taking the unorganized structure of the concerts and the desire for non-sequential access to the content, our system is a step-forward to make large concert video databases accessible. The demo system also allows us to exhibit the power and robustness of our algorithms that are able to perform well in a highly heterogeneous and noisy context of music concerts.
