This paper is concerned with the topic of personalized news
assembly at the set-top box, based on augmented video. This is
video complemented with additional information that is
somehow relevant to the semantic video content. We touch upon
the technique that is used for video augmentation, which is video
subject detection followed by information searches on the
subject. A focus of this paper is on subject detection
implemented using traditional text analysis tools; video
segmentation is based on these results and visual processing. We
describe the architecture of such a system and the benefits to the
consumer. Further we discuss a preliminary system that shows
the viability of the concept.
