Movie Title Extraction and Script Separation Using Shallow Convolution Neural Network

Abstract

Graphical texts in natural images play an important role in portraying information in multitudinous fields such as communication, education, and entertainment to name a few. Recognizing text in scene images is challenging due to the inherent complexity of the images. Text recognition in natural images involves script identification, which requires text localization. This is not trivial for natural scene images due to the presence of disparate foreground/background components. For scene images like movie posters, the challenge is more dominant. The challenges aggravate due to the presence of composite characteristics of posters like complex graphics background and the presence of different texts like a movie title, names of actors, producers, directors, and tagline. These texts have miscellaneous fonts, variations in colors, size, orientation, and textures. In this work, an M-EAST (modified EAST) model is proposed, which is based on the EAST (efficient and accurate scene text detector) model for text localization. A novel movie title extraction is thereafter used for separating the title from the extracted text pool. Finally, the title script was identified using a shallow convolutional neural network (SCNN)-based to ensure functionality in low-resource environments. Experiments were performed on a dataset of movieposter images of Tollywood, Bollywood, and Hollywood industries, and a highest accuracy of 99.82% was obtained. The system performed better than the reported techniques.

Analysis of top box office film poster marketing scheme based on data mining and deep learning in the context of film marketing

“…In particular, the advent of the digital media era has posed unique requirements for film poster design. It highlights imagination, photorealistic, and visual hierarchy through advanced filmmaking techniques while considering the advertising function [ 11 ].…”

Improving Scene Text Recognition for Indian Languages with Transfer Learning and Font Diversity

“…Around 2322 videos in these languages recorded with controlled camera movements like tilt, pan, etc., are additionally shared. Ghosh et al propose a LWSINet [38] for video data and a shallow convolutional neural network (SCNN)-based architecture [39] for image data for script identification allows improved functionality over low-resource scripts, especially Indic scripts. Huang et al [40] propose a scalable end-to-end trainable Multilingual Mask TextSpotter, which optimizes script identification while maintaing multiple recognition heads for different scripts.…”

Analysis of film distribution methods based on artificial intelligence technology

“…However, in the era of online communication, a movie can be watched not only in cinemas but also through computers, cell phones and other Internet media [6][7]. The initial special feature of movies that can only be viewed in theaters no longer exists, so the tendency of movies to become a pure content product is becoming more and more obvious, and the study of the dissemination of movies as a pure content product becomes more and more important [8][9]. Before the emergence of the Internet, the distribution channels for movies were relatively simple.…”
