Abstract

A system and method are disclosed for detecting and labeling places recognized in a video stream using change-points detection. The system includes a segmentation module and a label learning module. The segmentation module is configured to receive a video stream comprising multiple digital representations of images. The video stream is represented by a measurement stream comprising one or more image histograms of the video stream. The segmentation module segments the measurement stream into multiple segments corresponding to place recognized in the videos stream. The segmentation module detects change-points of the measurement stream and computes probability distributions of the segments over multiple pre-learned place models. The label generation module is configured to generate place labels for the places recognized by the place models.
