During the past decade, TV program analysis techniques have attracted significant interest in various topics, e.g., video temporal segmentation, news story segmentation, advertisement detection, sport classification, etc., and these techniques have been used for content classification, recommendation, and indexing, etc. Till now, few books have focused on the analysis of TV programs and the corresponding applications. The proposed book aims to give a thorough description of the most recent TV program analysis techniques, which will consist of the systems, architectures, algorithms, applications, latest research results, new emerging approaches and open issues.
