The present invention relates generally to pattern recognition and, more particularly, to pattern recognition in multimedia content.
Sound and image files, as well as other files featuring multimedia content, may be indexed by their titles. Unfortunately, if a multimedia file is simply an embedded or linked multimedia file on a Web page, there may be no additional information about it. The multimedia files may have some descriptive information included, such as the source. Other metadata can be included in multimedia files, but such inclusion requires more effort on the part of the content producer and, as in the case of images, this may be incomplete or insufficient, to say the least.
Full indexing of the content of sound files generally requires having a transcript of the session in a computer-readable text format to enable text-indexing. With voice recognition software, some automated indexing of audio files is possible and has been successfully used. However, it is widely known that such transcripts rarely match what was spoken exactly. The difficulty is compounded if the spoken words are sung and the search is for the song in a specific tune, or a search for a tune regardless of the words. Analysis of audio signals is desirable for a wide variety of reasons such as speaker recognition, voice command recognition, dictation, instrument or song identification, and the like.
Similarly, video analysis is a growing field alongside image recognition. One application within the field of video analysis is performing a search on a plurality of videos, thereby enabling a user to find a video containing a specific scene or action that the user wishes to view. For example, a user may wish to see a video of a person slipping on a banana peel. However, existing solutions typically only permit a user to find such video content if the video is associated with metadata identifying its content. Metadata associated with the video clips typically describe attributes of the clip, such as length, format type, source and so on. The metadata does not describe the contents of the clip and in particular the contents of each scene.
It would therefore be advantageous to have a system capable of identifying multimedia content elements according to the content contained therein.
Certain embodiments disclosed herein include a method and system for characterization of multimedia content inputs using cores of a natural liquid architecture. The method comprises receiving at least one multimedia content signal; generating at least a signature respective of the multimedia content signal; matching the generated at least a signature respective of the multimedia content signal to at least a signature from a Signature Database (SDB); identifying a cluster respective of the generated at least a signature; and identifying in a Concept Database (CDB) a concept respective of the cluster.
The subject matter disclosed herein is particularly pointed out and distinctly claimed in the claims at the conclusion of the specification. The foregoing and other objects, features, and advantages of the disclosed embodiments will be apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
It is important to note that the embodiments disclosed herein are only examples of the many advantageous uses of the innovative teachings herein. In general, statements made in the specification of the present application do not necessarily limit any of the various claimed inventions. Moreover, some statements may apply to some inventive features but not to others. In general, unless otherwise indicated, singular elements may be in plural and vice versa with no loss of generality. In the drawings, like numerals refer to like parts through several views.
The various disclosed embodiments include a method and system for identification and classification of multimedia content signals. At least one multimedia content signal input is received. Signatures are generated and a cluster of signatures respective of the at least one multimedia content signal is identified. Signatures may be generated respective of, but not limited to, image or audio portions of a multimedia content. Signatures having at least a partial match form a cluster. The match is referred to as a concept. The concept is then matched to a database that include a plurality of concepts and the identification and classification of the at least one multimedia content signal are performed respective of the match.
In S120, a measurement respective of the multimedia content input is generated to produce at least a signature. The measurement may be, for example, respective of an entire multimedia content input, a part of a multimedia content input, combinations of entire or partial multimedia inputs, and the like. A signature may be generated respective of an audio portion of a video signal, an image portion of a video signal, an audio signal, or any combinations thereof. A generated signature may be stored in a memory or a database for storing signatures. Generation of signatures according to various disclosed embodiments is described further in the above-referenced U.S. Pat. No. 8,326,775, assigned to common assignee.
Signature generation may be conducted by a system implementing a computational architecture (hereinafter referred to as “the Architecture”) as described in U.S. Pat. No. 8,655,801, referenced above, assigned to common assignee. Generally, the Architecture includes a large ensemble of randomly and independently generated heterogeneous computational cores, mapping data-segments onto a high-dimensional space in parallel and generating compact signatures for classes of interest. The process of signature generation is discussed further herein below with respect to
In S130, a generated signature is matched to at least another signature from, e.g., a signature database (SDB). A generated signature may have no match to a signature from a SDB. Alternatively, a generated signature may have one or more partial or full matches to one or more signatures from the SDB. A group of signatures having one or more matches forms a cluster of signatures. Signature matching is discussed in more detail herein below with respect to
In S140, a cluster is identified respective of the generated signature. The at least one cluster may be identified respective of the generated signature based on, e.g., a portion of a signature that is common to all signatures in the cluster and to the generated signature. The match that is common to all signatures in the cluster is a concept, as discussed further herein below with respect to S150.
Clusters initially contain a single multimedia data element and exist as an entry in a diagonal two-dimensional matrix. To cluster signatures, matching is performed between each cluster in the matrix and the other clusters, and results of matching are stored in each cluster's respective row in the matrix. Clusters that, for example, demonstrate matching above a predefined threshold may be utilized to form new clusters. Clustering of signatures is described in more detail in U.S. Pat. No. 8,386,400, assigned to the common assignee and is hereby incorporated by reference for all it contains.
The clustering process may map a certain content-universe onto a hierarchical structure of clusters. The content-elements of the content-universe are mapped to signatures as appropriate. The signatures of all of the content-elements are matched to each other and, consequently, such matching generates an inter-match matrix. Generation of the inter-match matrix leads to a set of clusters. This results in a highly compressed representation of the content-universe. Content-universe mapping is discussed in more detail in U.S. Pat. No. 8,266,185 assigned to common assignee, which is hereby incorporated by reference for all that it contains.
In S150, at least one concept is identified respective of the cluster. The match common to all the signatures of an identified cluster is a concept or a concept structure. Concepts may be identified based on previously generated concepts, or based on concepts generated in response to identification of clusters. In an embodiment, concepts may also be identified based on an inter-match matrix. Identification of concepts respective of clusters is described in more detail herein below with respect to
In S155, the at least one multimedia content input is characterized based on the at least one concept identified in S150. The identified concept is a collection of signatures representing elements of the unstructured data and metadata describing the concept. As a non-limiting example, a ‘Superman concept’ is a signature reduced cluster of signatures describing elements (such as multimedia elements) related to, e.g., a Superman cartoon: a set of metadata representing textual representation of the Superman concept. Therefore, the concept can provide a unique identification of the multimedia content input. For example, such an input may be an image of a man wearing a belt with a Superman icon, wherein the image is taken from a video clip commercial for a beer brand. The image will be associated with the Superman concept and the metadata of that concept will describe the belt in the input image. In comparison to prior art solutions, the metadata will identify, for example, the beer brand, length, format type and possibly the name of the beer brand. The prior art metadata does not provide a description at the resolution of each scene or image in the commercial's video clip.
In another non-limiting example, a “folk rock” concept is a signature reduced cluster of signatures describing elements (such as multimedia elements) related to, for example, folk rock music: a set of metadata representing textual representation of the folk rock concept. Therefore, the concept can provide a unique identification of the multimedia content input. For example, such an input may be a digital audio file of Bob Dylan performing “All Along the Watchtower.” The audio is in the example associated with the folk rock concept and the metadata of that concept describes clear vocal harmonies and electric instruments used therein.
In comparison to prior art solutions, the metadata identifies, for example, the singer, length, format type and possibly the name of the song. The prior art metadata does not provide a description at the resolution of each audio segment, such as identification of musical instruments, guitar solo, additional vocals, etc. In a similar non-limiting example, the song “Money for Nothing”, as performed by British rock band “Dire Straits” features English musician Gordon Sumner (a.k.a. Sting) in a cameo part. Typically, in prior art solutions, this would not be included in the metadata for the audio file of the song. In the described embodiments, a concept of “Sting” would be associated with the song “Money for Nothing”, in addition to other concepts which may be determined.
In one embodiment, S155 further includes classification of the signals based on the identified concepts. For example, two concepts can be identified for the belt with the Superman icon: Superman Cartoon and Fashion accessories, thereby the input image will be classified for these two entities.
In S160, it is checked whether additional matching will be performed with signatures from the SDB. If so, execution continues with S130; otherwise, execution terminates.
As a non-limiting example, a multimedia content signal containing multiple multimedia content elements is received. In this example, the multimedia content signal is a video featuring multimedia content elements showing a baby panda at the zoo in the foreground, wherein a man slipping on a banana peel may be seen in the background. In this example, metadata associated with the video only indicates information related to the baby panda. A signature is generated respective of each multimedia content element (the panda, the zoo environment, the banana peel, and the man.
Each generated signature is matched to at least another signature in a database. As a result, at least one cluster is identified respective of each generated signature. A concept is identified respective of each cluster. In this example, such concepts may be an “animal,” a “panda,” the “zoo,” a “banana peel,” a “man,” and the event of “slipping.” Based on these identified concepts, the video may be characterized as, e.g., a “baby panda at the zoo with a man slipping on a banana peel.” This characterization may be useful for, but is not limited to, allowing users searching for videos featuring a man slipping on a banana peel to find this video when the metadata would not characterize it as such.
The memory 220 may further comprise memory portion 224 containing one or more match scores between a cluster and a concept. Memory portion 224 or a secondary memory (not shown) may contain a measurement respective of a multimedia content signal.
The processing element 210 may further be coupled to at least one multimedia content input 250. A plurality of multimedia content inputs may be used to represent different signals, a single signal received from a plurality of locations, or any combination thereof. The processing element 210 may be further coupled to a database 230.
The database 230 is configured to maintain a storage portion 235 containing a plurality of concepts respective of a plurality of languages which form a Concept Database (CDB). The database 230 may also further comprise storage portion 236 containing at least a signature which forms a signature database (SDB). The concept signals may be used to determine a match score between an identified cluster and one or more concepts, or to determine a match score between a signal and one or more concepts.
In an embodiment, the processing element 210 is configured to run or to include a plurality of computational cores that formed the Architecture. As demonstrated herein the Architecture is a large ensemble of randomly and independently generated heterogeneous computational cores, mapping data-segments onto a high-dimensional space in parallel and generating compact signatures for classes of interest. In this embodiment, the processing element 210 can be utilized to generate signatures for multimedia content input and such signatures are stored in the database 230. In another embodiment, the processing element 210 can create concepts respective of generates and compare between concepts either saved locally in the database 230 or in external source.
The processing element 210 is also configured to characterize and classify the multimedia content input based on the identified concept. Specifically, as described above, the characterization of the input is based in part on the metadata associated with the identified concept. The multimedia content input may be a scene from a video clip, an image from a video clip, an audio signal (which may be a portion of a sound track, recorded conversation, a sound sample, a recorded song, etc.).
In an embodiment, the system is connected to a deep-content-classification (DCC) system (not shown). The DCC system is configured to generate concepts, perform inter-matching concepts and find one or more concepts that match at least one generated signature. An exemplary DCC system that can be utilized is disclosed in more detail in U.S. Pat. No. 8,266,185, assigned to common assignee, which is hereby incorporated by reference for all that it contains.
In an embodiment, the system 200 is configured to query the DCC system using a generated signature to find at least one matching concept. In addition, the system 200 can query the DCC system to find a match between two concepts generated by the system to find a matching concept to a concept generated by the system. Matching concepts can be found using a signature representing the concept.
To demonstrate an example of a signature generation process, it is assumed, merely for the sake of simplicity and without limitation on the generality of the disclosed embodiments, that the signatures are based on a single multimedia content frame or a sample, leading to certain simplification of the computational cores generation. The Matching System is extensible for signatures generation capturing the dynamics in-between the frames.
Video content segments 2 from a Master database (DB) 6 and a Target DB 1 are processed in parallel by a large number of independent computational Cores 3 that constitute an architecture for generating the Signatures (hereinafter the “Architecture”). Further details on the computational Cores generation are provided below. The independent Cores 3 generate a database of Robust Signatures and Signatures 4 for Target content-segments 5 and a database of Robust Signatures and Signatures 7 for Master content-segments 8. An exemplary and non-limiting process of signature generation for an audio component is shown in detail in
The Signatures' generation process will now be described with reference to
In order to generate Robust Signatures, i.e., Signatures that are robust to additive noise L (where L is an integer equal to or greater than 1) by the Computational Cores 3 a frame ‘i’ is injected into all the Cores 3. Then, Cores 3 generate two binary response vectors: {right arrow over (S)} which is a Signature vector, and {right arrow over (RS)} which is a Robust Signature vector.
For generation of signatures robust to additive noise, such as White-Gaussian-Noise, scratch, etc., but not robust to distortions, such as crop, shift and rotation, etc., a core Ci={ni} (1≤i≤L) may consist of a single leaky integrate-to-threshold unit (LTU) node or more nodes. The node ni equations are:
where, Θ is a Heaviside step function; wij is a coupling node unit (CNU) between node i and image component j (for example, grayscale value of a certain pixel j); kj is an image component ‘j’ (for example, grayscale value of a certain pixel j); Thx is a constant Threshold value, where x is ‘S’ for Signature and ‘RS’ for Robust Signature; and Vi is a Coupling Node Value.
The Threshold values Thx are set differently for Signature generation and for Robust Signature generation. For example, for a certain distribution of Vi values (for the set of nodes), the thresholds for Signature (ThS) and Robust Signature (ThRS) are set apart, after optimization, according to at least one or more of the following criteria:
i.e., given that l nodes (cores) constitute a Robust Signature of a certain image l, the probability that not all of these l nodes will belong to the Signature of same, but noisy image, Ĩ is sufficiently low (according to a system's specified accuracy).
It should be understood that the generation of a signature is unidirectional, and typically yields lossless compression, where the characteristics of the compressed data are maintained but the uncompressed data cannot be reconstructed. Therefore, a signature can be used for the purpose of comparison to another signature without the need of comparison to the original data. Detailed description of the Signature generation is discussed in more detail in the co-pending patent applications of which this patent application is a continuation-in-part, which are hereby incorporated by reference.
A Computational Core generation is a process of definition, selection, and tuning of the parameters of the cores for a certain realization in a specific system and application. The process is based on several design considerations, such as:
Detailed description of the Computational Core generation and the process for configuring such cores is discussed in more detail in the above-referenced U.S. Pat. No. 8,655,801, assigned to the common assignee, which is hereby incorporated by reference for all that it contains.
In S530, inter-matching is performed among signatures in the identified cluster. In S540, based on results of the inter-matching, a portion or portions of the signatures of the cluster that is common to all signatures in the cluster is identified. In an embodiment, if more than one portion is identified, such identified portions may be concatenated to form a single concatenated portion of signatures.
In another embodiment, if no suitable portion of signatures is common to all signatures in the cluster, a suitable portion of signatures that is present in the highest number of signatures possible may be identified instead. Portions of signatures may be deemed unsuitable if, for example, they are not long enough or do not receive a matching score above a pre-defined threshold. In a further embodiment, upon identification of a suitable portion of signature that is not present in all signatures in the cluster, a message may be returned indicating as such. In another further embodiment, signatures that do not include the suitable portion may be excluded from the cluster.
In S550, a concept structure representing commonality among signatures in the cluster is generated based on identified portions of signatures. This concept structure may include a single portion of a signature, multiple portions of signatures, a concatenated portion of signatures, multiple concatenated portions of signatures, combinations thereof, and the like. In S560, the generated or defined concept structure is returned.
As a non-limiting example, a cluster including several generated signatures is identified. Upon checking whether there is a pre-existing inter-match matrix for the cluster defining a common concept, it is determined that such a matrix exists. Upon determining that such a matrix exists, the concept structure defined in the matrix is returned.
As another non-limiting example, a cluster including several signatures generated based on images of a baseball, a tennis ball, a basketball, and a soccer ball, respectively, is identified. In this example, no inter-match matrix exists at the time of identification. Upon determination that no inter-match matrix exists, inter-matching is performed among all of the signatures in the cluster. The inter-matching process yields certain portions of the signatures that demonstrate matching above a pre-defined threshold. Based on the inter-matching, a portion of each signature identifying the shape of each ball and that each ball is related to a sport is identified as common among all signatures. Based on this identified common signature portion, a concept structure is generated. In this example, the concept structure may be “sports balls.” The concept structure of “sports balls” is then returned.
As yet another non-limiting example, a cluster of signatures that were generated based on an image of monkey next to a bowl of fruit is determined. The cluster is identified and no inter-match matrix already exists. Thus, inter-matching is performed among all signatures in the cluster. In this example, if no concept is common among all signatures in the cluster, the concept that is present in the highest number of signatures is identified. Thus, the portion of the signatures of the fruit in the bowl that identifies each item as a piece of fruit is determined to be the portion of a signature that is common to the highest number of signatures. A concept structure representing the concept of “fruit” is generated and returned.
