Abstract
The Narrative Clip is a small wearable camera that takes an image
every 30 seconds. By wearing the clip a whole day a user captures a
long image sequence of the day's events. In this thesis we will segment
such a sequence into the individual events automatically.
Multiple sequences are segmented by humans in order to nd a
groundtruth for each sequence. The groundtruth will be used to determine
the performance of the algorithm and also how well individual
humans are able to segment a sequence.
The method presented here takes a sequence of images and tries
to nd the location where the mean of the descriptors changes. The
images are described using various image descriptors that capture colors,
lines, textures and similar low level... (More)

The method presented here takes a sequence of images and tries
to nd the location where the mean of the descriptors changes. The
images are described using various image descriptors that capture colors,
lines, textures and similar low level features. We also introduce
an indoor/outdoor classication method that combines a SVM and a
HMM. The classication method is combined with the segmentation
for each descriptor in order to create a combined segmentation.
The indoor classication method achieves an accuracy of 97% which
is to be considered very good results. The best human segmentation
has an F1-score of 0.82 while the best automatic segmentation
method's F1-score is 0.43. The conclusion is that the current system
is not suitable for any practical usage. (Less)
