public class RefSegmentation

extends Segmentation

This class represents a segmentation in items of video file and used in known-items task programs of TREC 2001. Not the entire video is represented in a segmentation, the term of segmentation is used for convenience, but it's just a bunch of items of the same video that need to be processed together cause result of one particular system for one particular topic.
