MSU TV Commercial Detector

Project: Dr. Dmitriy Vatolin
Implementation, ideas: Alexander Voronov

Project Assistance

You can help us by providing broadcasting samples (sports, movies, talk-shows, etc.) with uncut commercial.

Introduction

No ad!

Commercial breaks take up to 20% time of broadcasting. When you record television programmes for home collection, it is reasonable to cut out commercial blocks in order to reduce size of the videofile and keep your time, that is usually spent on fast forwarding of advertisements. Commercial breaks can be detected by estimating special features of segments and by tracking of tv-channel logo .

 

Our project

We are developing a program that would detect TV commercial.

The program will use AVI and AVS files as input (through Avisynth any video can be opened, supported by mediaplayers). Final result will be in AVS file with marking showing what videoframes to exclude. Also we plan to present results in marking format of some popular videoeditors.

Plans

We schedule to release an alpha version of the program till the end of the year. Hereafter, in case we get enough test materials, the algorithm will be carefully checked over and improved.

Public MSU video filters
Here are available VirtualDub and AviSynth filters. Commonly we develop a whole family of some kind of a filter. Generally there are also versions optimized for PC and hardware implementations (ASIC/FPGA/DSP). These optimized versions can be licensed to companies. Please contact us for details via video(at)graphics.cs.msu_ru.
MSU filters for companies
We are working with Intel, Samsung, RealNetworks and other companies on adapting our filters other video processing algorithms for specific video streams, applications and hardware like TV-sets, graphics cards, etc. Some of such projects are non-exclusive. Also we have internal researches. Please let us know via video(at)graphics.cs.msu_ru if you are interested in acquiring a license for such filters or making a custom R&D project on video processing, compression, computer vision.
