Automatic video annotation based on co-adaptation and label correction
As there is a large gap between high-level semantics and low-level features, it is difficult to obtain high-accuracy video semantic annotation through automatic methods. In this paper, we propose a novel automatic video annotation method, which greatly improves the annotation performance by learning from unlabeled video data, as well as exploring temporal consistency of video sequences. To effectively learn from unlabeled data, a scheme called co-adaptation is proposed to progressively refine two pre-trained complementary classifiers, and then a minimum entropy based method is applied to sufficiently explore the video temporal consistency, which further improves the annotation accuracy. Experiments show that the proposed automatic video annotation method performs superior than both general learning-based and co-training-based methods
