A Framework for Short Video Recognition Based on Motion Estimation and Feature Curves on SPD Manifolds

Abstract

Given the prosperity of video media such as TikTok and YouTube, the requirement of short video recognition is becoming more and more urgent. A significant feature of short video is that there are few switches of scenes in short video, and the target (e.g., the face of the key person in the short video) often runs through the short video. This paper presents a new short video recognition algorithm framework that transforms a short video into a family of feature curves on symmetric positive definite (SPD) manifold as the basis of recognition. Thus far, no similar algorithm has been reported. The results of experiments suggest that our method performs better on three changeling databases than seven other related algorithms published in the top issues.
