Abstract: As a rapid growth of digital videos and data
communications, video summarization that provides a shorter version
of the video for fast video browsing and retrieval is necessary.
Key frame extraction is one of the mechanisms to generate video
summary. In general, the extracted key frames should both represent
the entire video content and contain minimum redundancy. However,
most of the existing approaches heuristically select key frames; hence,
the selected key frames may not be the most different frames and/or
not cover the entire content of a video. In this paper, we propose
a method of video summarization which provides the reasonable
objective functions for selecting key frames. In particular, we apply
a statistical dependency measure called quadratic mutual informaion
as our objective functions for maximizing the coverage of the
entire video content as well as minimizing the redundancy among
selected key frames. The proposed key frame extraction algorithm
finds key frames as an optimization problem. Through experiments,
we demonstrate the success of the proposed video summarization
approach that produces video summary with better coverage of
the entire video content while less redundancy among key frames
comparing to the state-of-the-art approaches.
Abstract: For more efficient and fast video summarization, this paper presents a surveillance video summarization method. The presented method works to improve video summarization technique. This method depends on temporal differencing to extract most important data from large video stream. This method uses histogram differencing and Sum Conditional Variance which is robust against to illumination variations in order to extract motion objects. The experimental results showed that the presented method gives better output compared with temporal differencing based summarization techniques.
Abstract: Nowadays, huge amount of multimedia repositories
make the browsing, retrieval and delivery of video contents very slow
and even difficult tasks. Video summarization has been proposed to
improve faster browsing of large video collections and more efficient
content indexing and access. In this paper, we focus on approaches to
video summarization. The video summaries can be generated in many
different forms. However, two fundamentals ways to generate
summaries are static and dynamic. We present different techniques
for each mode in the literature and describe some features used for
generating video summaries. We conclude with perspective for
further research.
