Abstract:

In the recent years, consumer devices that can record broad-cast video have become prevalent. Such devices rely on the program guide information about a program\'s start time and end time for recording. However, sports broadcasts can run over the specified time sometimes. In this paper, we propose a framework based on an audio classification framework to correctly detect the end of a sports broadcast so as to enable complete recording of the game. Our experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can detect sports program boundaries with a high accuracy.
