Analysis of user behaviors in large video databases

Definition

Video usage mining refers to analysis of user behaviors in large video databases.

Analysis of user behaviors in large video databases is an emergent problem. The growing importance of video in every day life (ex. Movie production) increases automatically the importance of video usage. To be able to cope with the abundance of available videos, users of these videos need intelligent software systems that fully utilize the rich source information hidden in user behaviors on large video data bases for retrieving and navigating through videos. In this paper, we present a framework for video usage mining to generate user profiles on a video search engine in the context of movie production. We propose a two level model based approach for modeling user behaviors on a video search engine. The first level aims at modeling and clustering user behavior on a single video sequence (intra video behavior), the second one aims at...
