Abstract
When we watch videos with video discs like DVDs or VCDs, we can only watch
by chapters. We cannot do some search on the content of video. So we provide a
retrieval system for video subtitles, and hopefully do some progress on searching the
video content.
NTU Literary Lecture Series published by National Taiwan University Press are
videos of speech giving by some modern literature writers in Taiwan. There are videos
on DVDs and a speech manual for every video in NTU Literary Lecture Sreies. People
may read speech manuals to scan the content of videos quickly. When people find a
interesting paragraph and want to watch the part of video, they cannot easily do that.
To solve this problem, we create the subtitle files of videos by esrXP which
captures pictures of subtitles and Microsoft Office Document Imaging which does OCR
on pictures to get the text of subtitles. Additionally, we match subtitles to the sentences
in speech manual for giving more information to users.
Then we access videos through web. By using video tag of HTML5 on webpage,
users can easily watch the videos without any plug-in if they use HTML5-supported
browsers like Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. When users watch videos, the
sentences correspond to the subtitle will be displayed below the player. It will provide
more information to users on selecting subtitles. We also provide the function of
post-classification to users for filtering the retrieval results.
