    Character-Net을 이용한 주요배역 추출 Major Character Extraction using Character-Net 박 승 보* 김 유 원** 조 근 식*** Seung-Bo Park Yoo-Won Kim Geun-Sik Jo 요 약 본 논문에서는 동영상의 등장인물 간의 상황을 기초로 배역간의 관계를 정의한 Character-Net을 구축하는 방법과 이를 이 용하여 동영상으로부터 주요배역을 추출하는 방법을 제안한다. 인터넷의 발전과 함께 디지털화된 동영상의 수가 기하급수적 으로 증가하여 왔고 원하는 동영상을 검색하거나 축약하기 위해 동영상으로부터 의미정보를 추출하려는 다양한 시도가 있어 왔다. 상업용 영화나 TV 드라마와 같이 이야기 구조를 가진 대부분의 동영상은 그 속에 존재하는 등장인물들에 의해 이야기 전개가 이루어지게 되므로, 동영상 분석을 위해 인물 간의 관계와 상황을 체계적으로 정리하고 주요배역을 추출하여 동영상 검색이나 축약을 위한 정보로 활용할 필요가 있다. Character-Net은 영상의 그룹 단위에 등장하는 인물들을 찾아 화자와 청자 를 분류하여 등장인물 기반의 그래프로 표현하고 이 그래프를 누적하여 전체 동영상의 등장인물들 간의 관계를 묘사한 네트 워크다. 그리고 이 네트워크에서 연결정도 중심성 분석을 통해 주요배역을 추출할 수 있다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 Character-Net을 구축하고 주요배역을 추출하는 실험을 진행 하였다. ABSTRACT In this paper, we propose a novel method of analyzing video and representing the relationship among characters based on their contexts in the video sequences, namely Character-Net. As a huge amount of video contents is generated even in a single day, the searching and summarizing technologies of the contents have also been issued. Thereby, a number of researches have been proposed related to extracting semantic information of video or scenes. Generally stories of video, such as TV serial or commercial movies, are made progress with characters. Accordingly, the relationship between the characters and their contexts should be identified to summarize video.

  • Finals Sense Fi. Estudi De La Construcció Serial a 24, Prison Break I
    Finals sense fi. Estudi de la construcció serial a 24 , Prison Break i Heroes. Manel Jiménez Morales Departament de Comunicació Universitat Pompeu Fabra 2010 DIRECTOR: Dr. Xavier Pérez Torío Resum L’objectiu d’aquesta tesi pretén analitzar una paradoxa narrativa: com construir un relat serial, i per tant potencialment infinit, sota la pressió d’un final apocalíptic. La presència d’aquesta cloenda amenaçadora hauria d’impossiblitar la capacitat de la narració per desenvolupar-se successivament sine dia ; en canvi, aquesta relació de conflictivitat es demostra solvent i absolutament necessària en un conjunt de produccions televisives nordamericanes, que tenen com a rerefons l’esperit paranoic evocat pels atemptats de l’11 de setembre. A aquests afectes, la present recerca aborda l’estudi dels components narratius i estètics en la construcció serial de les ficcions televisives 24 (Fox, 2001, Robert Cochran i Joel Surnow), Prison Break (Fox, 2005, Paul Scheuring) i Heroes (NBC, 2006, Tim Kring). El text es divideix en tres parts que corresponen essencialment a tres conceptes; tres substantius que acullen, des de la seva accepció més amplia, les característiques que, per a nosaltres, defineixen la construcció serial d’aquestes produccions. Destaquem en primer lloc el concepte de Saturació per definir aquells elements que constitueixen la complexitat narrativa pròpia d’aquestes sèries. Des d’aquesta premissa s’analitza la contribució mútua dels gèneres narratius, la seva hibridació i la proliferació de les trames. El segon apartat, Fragmentació , parteix també d'un problema derivat de la cronologia contrarrellotge que presenten les sèries. L’expansió de les trames i la cursa contrarrellotge, així com altres aspectes de caràcter temàtic, obliguen a un sentit de fractura constant, ja sigui merament estructural, ja sigui metafòrica o literal en els continguts del relat.
