These systems can be classified from different viewpoints. In this article, the semantic gap between low-level features and high-level concepts in the semantic video analysis systems is discussed and the literature is reviewed from viewpoint of semantic hierarchy for video production.To this end, after a brief description of video analysis systems and their general block diagram, two main challenges of these systems are discussed: sensory gap and semantic gap. Then, different approaches for reduction of the semantic gap are studied based on a semantic hierarchy used for video production. According to this hierarchical structure, there are three main steps for reduction of semantic gaps: frame processing; content analysis; and semantic extraction. Finally, open problems in this field of research are presented as the following. Usually, a wide variety of events and concepts may occur in a video. Different concepts may be assigned to an event in different circumstances. Some high-level concepts may occur in a relatively long duration of video; thus, extraction of such concepts requires processing of a relatively long duration of video to construct a semantic network between the concepts extracted from short durations of video. Usually, analysis of multi-modal information may close the semantic gaps that exist in the analysis of single-modal information.
