Deliverable D1.6 Intelligent hypervideo analysis evaluation, final results

This deliverable describes the conducted evaluation activities for assessing the performance of a number of developed methods for intelligent hypervideo analysis and the usability of the implemented Editor Tool for supporting video annotation and enrichment. Based on the performance evaluations reported in D1.4 regarding a set of LinkedTV analysis components, we extended our experiments for assessing the effectiveness of newer versions of these methods as well as of entirely new techniques, concerning the accuracy and the time efficiency of the analysis. For this purpose, in-house experiments and participations at international benchmarking activities were made, and the outcomes are reported in this deliverable. Moreover, we present the results of user trials regarding the developed Editor Tool, where groups of experts assessed its usability and the supported functionalities, and evaluated the usefulness and the accuracy of the implemented video segmentation approaches based on the analysis requirements of the LinkedTV scenarios. By this deliverable we complete the reporting of WP1 evaluations that aimed to assess the efficiency of the developed multimedia analysis methods throughout the project, according to the analysis requirements of the LinkedTV scenarios.
