Problems solved by technology

At present, most of the prefecture-level meteorological departments across the country have established meteorological studios to record meteorological programs hosted by hosts. However, county-level meteorological departments are limited by various conditions, such as the impracticality of building expensive meteorological studios, and the host The maintenance problem with the editor and director, which uses the standard voice library for program simulation and synthesis production, without the kind explanation of the host
[0004] In order to improve the broadcast effect of county-level TV weather forecast programs and make full use of prefectural-level equipment and personnel resources, it is imperative for prefectural-level meteorological departments to carry out intensive work of "city on behalf of county" production programs, but due to some conditions slow progress due to constraints
These restrictions mainly include: the conclusion of the weather forecast is usually made at 15:30, and then the production of the program will start; according to the broadcasting time requirements of the TV station, the program must be completed before 17:15, that is, the production time of the program is set It is limited from 15:30 to 17:15, so if the number of programs is increased, it will lead to difficulties in production
For example, if a city’s meteorological film and television center wants to complete the program production work of “city on behalf of county”, it needs to undertake the recording work of 3 channels of municipal TV stations and 13 sets of TV weather forecast programs in 6 counties and cities every day, especially at 15:00 p.m. In just 105 minutes from 30 minutes to 17:15 minutes, 9 sets of programs need to be produced, and an average of one program needs to be produced every 12 minutes. The time is tight and the tasks are heavy, which cannot be completed according to conventional production methods
[0005] Like the meteorological departments at all levels across the country, the host spends a lot of time on dubbing hundreds of city window weather every day. For example, a certain city needs to dub 227 (60 in the morning and 167 in the afternoon) city window weather. The duration is 28 minutes and 38 seconds, accounting for 57% of the total program production time, that is, the host spends more than half of his time on this mechanical, repetitive work without technical content every day, and the director also spends the same time Perform the recording operation; if the broadcast is wrong, it has to be re-recorded, and it will also take a certain amount of time

Embodiment 1

[0042] Each TV weather forecast program will be hosted by a different announcer. Therefore, each announcer is pre-recorded with city noun entries, weather phenomenon entries, temperature entries, and linking words entries.

[0043] The entry of city nouns includes: the place names of one or more levels of administrative regions in cities, counties, townships, villages, etc. under a certain province; or the place names of the whole country or the whole world.

[0044] The entries of weather phenomena include: overcast, sunny, cloudy, thunderstorm, shower, light rain, fog in the early morning, etc., a total of 44 entries.

[0045] Temperature entries include: -40°C to 50°C: a total of 91 entries, and 0 to 50°C: a total of 51 entries.

[0046] Conjunctive entries include: to, turn.

[0047] The above entries to be recorded total 442 or more, and are named after the content of each entry, and the voice library of each announcer is established, that is to say, the voice library st...

Embodiment 2

[0063] 1. Recording of dubbing entries: each announcer pre-targets the city name, various weather phenomena, temperature entries and / or connecting words connected between weather entries or between temperature entries Each item is dubbed one by one to form the "*.wav" voice file of the entry, and saved in the respective voice library, wherein, the duration of the voice file of the "*.wav" item is controlled to one decimal place; 0.1 second of silence is recorded Entry file, 0.1 second is the minimum silence duration;

[0064] 2. Weather code import: the system automatically selects the city weather code to be broadcast, translates it into a city name, and weather and / or temperature entries and / or connects between weather entries or between temperature entries The connecting words and entries are automatically imported into the TV production NLE system, and the NLE system implants them into the corresponding video screen windows of each city for display. Among them, the foreca...

Embodiment 3

[0079] Let's further take the TV weather forecast program produced by Quanzhou Meteorological Bureau of Fujian Province as an example.

[0080] According to the current situation of the "TV Weather Forecast" program of Quanzhou TV Station in Fujian Province, the total duration of the "City Window Weather Broadcast" is 77 seconds, and a total of 11 city window weather are broadcast, and the video screen of each city window is 7 seconds.

[0081]1. Each TV weather forecast program is usually broadcast by a different announcer. In order to ensure that the program "weather explanation" and "city weather window broadcast" are broadcast by the same announcer, each announcer pre-records various voice words entry, and name it as a "*.wav" file based on the content of the entry. For example, the voice entry of "Fengze District" is named "Fengze District.wav", and the voice entry of "Qing" is named "Qing. wav” and then saved in each announcer’s voice library. According to the actual si...

Abstract

The invention discloses an automatic processing method for city window weather dubbing of a TV weather forecast program. The method comprises the following steps: translation: translating city weather codes to obtain city names and weather and / or temperature entries; matching: matching the translated entries with the corresponding storage entries in a voice library; synthesizing: synthesizing the matched storage voice entries into audio data according to the sequence of the city name and weather and / or temperature; and time setting: by inserting mute date before and behind the entry audio data to generate dubbing data, enabling the time length of the dubbing data to be equal to a set time length. The invention also discloses a system adopting the method. The automatic dubbing synthesized voice is good in effect and can replace human voice, thereby improving program quality, avoiding external influence, freeing hosts, preventing mistake making and improving work efficiency by times.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an automatic processing method for weather dubbing in a city window of a TV weather forecast program, in particular to an automatic processing system. Background technique [0002] The TV weather forecast program is an important window for the meteorological service society, and also an important channel for the public to obtain weather, especially disastrous weather. At present, the program is divided into two types: broadcast by a host (also called an announcer) and machine simulation broadcast without a host. The program broadcast by the host is composed of two parts: "weather explanation" and "city weather window broadcast". Among them, the "City Weather Window Broadcast" is composed of a number of city weather connections. The time of each window is fixed, and the content includes three items: city name, weather, and temperature. The program broadcast by the host usually requires that the "weather explanation" and the "ci...
