This thesis presents a visual search engine framework that helps users efficiently locate gesture fragments of interest in long videos of television programs. In order to build such a system, we integrate various modules that detect when people or speakers are on screen along with body part motions including head, hand and shoulder motion. We also provide a detector for a specific class of gestures known as timeline gestures. The system automatically annotates videos with the results of these detectors. An existing gesture annotation tool, ELAN, can be used with these annotations to quickly locate gestures of interest. Finally, we provide an update mechanism for the detectors based on human feedback. We empirically evaluate the detectors to demonstrate their accuracy as well as present data from pilot human studies to show the effectiveness of the overall system. 2017-08-30 English text Case Western Reserve University School of Graduate Studies / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1499424165650622 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1499424165650622 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
