Movie-in-a-Minute: Automatically Generated Video Previews

摘要

Movie-in-a-minute is a summarization method that enables quick browsing and access to hundreds of hours of stored video programs. A movie-in-a-minute is a short video sequence composed of automatically selected portions of the original video that aims at conveying key aspects of a program and its story in an efficient but entertaining way. In this paper we discuss an approach to generating movie-in-a-minute summaries using film grammar rules to guide the selection of video segments that are indexed using automatically computed signal-level features.
