DLI-Phase 2: An Intelligent Authoring Tool for Non-Programmers Using the Informedia Video Library

摘要IIS-9817527迈尔斯，布拉德卡内基梅隆大学15万美元- 12个月。使用信息媒体数字视频库创作多媒体材料这是一个为期三年的连续奖项的第一年资助。 该项目将创建一个全面的智能视频编辑器，允许没有受过特殊训练的人使用数字视频创作有趣的作品。 特别是，编辑器将支持复杂的视频交互行为和视频上的额外图形绘制（称为合成图形）。 例如，用户可以指定视频中的哪些对象可以被点击以选择下一个视频剪辑，或者应该绘制一个箭头来显示对象将遵循的路径，或者视频是课程的一部分，观众对问题的回答决定了下一个动作。 还将提供高级设施，用于搜索和组织视频，视频编辑，演示行为，用更自然的编程语言编写脚本，以及测试和调试代码。 将在学生和成人中不断测试所创建的工具，以评估和完善各种功能。 我们的目标是使数字图书馆中的视频资料的使用和今天图书馆中的文本资料的使用一样简单。

Abstract IIS-9817527 Myers, Brad Carnegie Mellon University$150,000 - 12 mos.Using the Informedia Digital Video Library to Author Multimedia Material This is the first year funding of a three year continuing award. This project will create a comprehensive Intelligent Video Editor that will allow people without special training to author interesting compositions using digital video. In particular, the editor will support sophisticated interactive behaviors for the videos and for extra graphical drawings (called synthetic graphics) layered on top of the videos. For example, users might specify which objects in the video can be clicked on to choose the next video clip, or that an arrow should be drawn that shows the path that an object will follow, or that the video is part of a lesson and a viewer's answer to a question determines the next action. There will also be high-level facilities for searching and organizing videos, video editing, demonstrating behaviors, writing scripts in a more natural programming language, and testing and debugging the code. The tools created will be continuously tested with school children and adults to evaluate and refine the various features. The goal is to make it as easy to use the video material found in a digital library as it is to use textual material found in today's libraries.
