THE ROLE OF METADATA IN WEB VIDEO MINING: ISSUES AND PERSPECTIVES

Due to the complexity in rapid growth of audiovisual information over the web, it is becoming difficult to extract useful information from the web audiovisual data such as YouTube, Face Book, and Yahoo Screen etc. Web video mining is the process of extracting useful information from the web videos by applying data mining techniques. There are two approaches for web video mining- using traditional image processing/signal processing approach and metadata based approach. A number of techniques and algorithms are developed in image/signal processing approach to mine the video contents. But nowadays, mining of web videos without using image processing techniques is a challenging task. This paper represents a new approach for mining web videos using metadata as leading contribution for knowledge discovery
