AI in Production: Video Analysis and Machine Learning for Expanded Live Events Coverage
In common with many industries, TV and video production is likely to be
transformed by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), with
software and algorithms assisting production tasks that, conventionally,
could only be carried out by people. Expanded coverage of a diverse
range of live events is particularly constrained by the relative scarcity of
skilled people, and is a strong use case for AI-based automation.
This paper describes recent BBC research into potential production
benefits of AI algorithms, using visual analysis and other techniques.
Rigging small, static UHD cameras, we have enabled a one-person crew
to crop UHD footage in multiple ways and cut between the resulting shots,
effectively creating multi-camera HD coverage of events that cannot
accommodate a camera crew. By working with programme makers to
develop simple deterministic rules and, increasingly, training systems
using advanced video analysis, we are developing a system of algorithms
to automatically frame, sequence and select shots, and construct
acceptable multicamera coverage of previously untelevised types of event

Passing Propinquities in the Multicultural City: the everyday encounters of bus passengering
This paper examines how intercultural relations are continuously developed, destroyed, and remade in the practice of everyday bus travel. Through an ethnographic study of one bus route across Birmingham, UK, the paper explores the formation of relational practices on the move and the bodily orientations, public codes of conduct, material cultures, habits and affects through which they are formed. In particular, this paper gives specific attention to the tacit obligations of public travel and how such obligations both produce and sustain tolerance of others across a journey, to further reveal the multifaceted nature and workings of multicultural intimacies on the ground. In so doing, the paper responds to recent calls to politically revalorise public mobility spaces as key sites of encounter and identity formation, to position the bus as a crucial site of everyday multiculture through which wider processes of differentiation and exclusion are experienced and further understood
