Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An interesting section extracting device extracts an interesting section of interest to a user from a video file with reference to an audio signal included in the video file such that a specified time is included in the interesting section. The interesting section extracting device includes an interface device that obtains the specified time; and a likelihood vector generating unit that calculates, in one-to-one correspondence with first unit sections of the audio signal, likelihoods for anchor models that respectively represent features of a plurality of types of sound pieces and generates likelihood vectors having the calculated likelihoods as components thereof. An interesting section extracting unit calculates a first feature section as candidate section, which is candidate for the interesting section to be extracted, by using likelihood vectors and extract, as the interesting section, part of the first feature section including the specified time.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An interesting section extracting device, comprising: an anchor model storage unit storing anchor models that respectively represent features of a plurality of types of sound pieces; a specified time obtaining unit configured to obtain a specified time; a likelihood vector generating unit configured to calculate likelihoods for feature vectors that represent features of an audio signal, in one-to-one correspondence with unit sections of the audio s…
