Moving Images Analysis for Material Indexing and Its Possibilities HUZIOKA Hirosi - No.30, p.19-42, 2022
RESUME: Moving images recorded as academic materials, especially analog film images, have very few opportunities to be actively used for academic research even after they are digitized.
In this paper, the "unedited nature" of recorded moving images is actively evaluated, and a content-based indexing process is presented. The granularity of the analysis is reexamined, and the information obtained from the moving images is efficiently compiled into a database. In the process, the possibility that this analysis can contribute to the reorganization of photographic materials that should have been used to verify the information is found.
