A Semantic Approach to Film Content Analysis and Retrieval.

In this paper we present a system for the semantic representation, enrichment and querying of film content. The system combines state-of-the-art knowledge representation and reasoning techniques, adapted to film content, with visual analysis techniques for point of interest detection. The resulting system provides search services for specific objects and entities in film scenes and shots. The experimental results that we present illustrate the good performance of the proposed approach.
