Intelligent Tv System And Method

A method is provided for an intelligent user-interaction system based on object detection. The method includes receiving an input video sequence corresponding to a video program, and dividing the input video sequence into a plurality of video shots, each containing one or more video frames. The method also includes detecting possible object occurrences in each of the plurality of video shots, and analyzing possible paths of an object in a video shot using a multimodal-cue approach. Further, the method includes aggregating the path-based selected object occurrences across the plurality of video shots to detect objects, and generating a complete list of the object occurrences across the plurality of video shots.
