A novel framework for audio-assisted dialogue detection based on indicator functions and
neural networks is investigated. An indicator function defines that an actor is present at a …

Dialogue sequences constitute an important part of any movie or television program and
their successful detection is an essential step in any movie summarisation/indexing system …

This paper presents an approach to movie video indexing that utilises audiovisual analysis
to detect important and meaningful temporal video segments, that we term events. We …

This paper describes an approach for automatically detecting action sequences in movies.

An audio-assisted system is investigated that detects if a movie scene is a dialogue or not.
The system is based on actor indicator functions. That is, functions which define if an actor …

We describe a study conducted to investigate the potential correlations between human
subject responses to emotional stimuli in movies, and observed biometric responses. The …
