Semantic event detection via multimodal data mining

This paper presents a novel framework for video event detection. The core of the framework is an advanced temporal analysis and multimodal data mining method that consists of three major components: low-level feature extraction, temporal pattern analysis, and multimodal data mining. One of the unique characteristics of this framework is that it offers strong generality and extensibility with the capability of exploring representative event patterns with little human interference. The framework is presented with its application to the detection of the soccer goal events over a large collection of soccer video data with various production styles.
