Abstract

Large video-on-demand databases consisting of thousands of digital movies are not easy to handle: the user must have an attractive means of retrieving his movie of choice. For analog video, movie trailers are produced to allow a quick preview and perhaps stimulate possible buyers. This paper presents techniques for automatically producing such movie abstracts of digital videos.

    Citation Excerpt :

    It uses efficient similarity measures and a prioritized linear fusion of different similarity scores for both shot level and scene level personalized movie summarization. Various attempts were made over the past decade to automate the summarization of full length movies (Ellouze, Boujemaa, & Alimi, 2010; Fu et al., 2010; Hermes & Schultz, 2006; Li, Lee, Yeh, & Kuo, 2006; Pfeiffer, Lienhart, Fischer, & Effelsberg, 1996; Sang & Xu, 2010; Shroff, Turaga, & Chellappa, 2010; Tobita, 2010; Tsai et al., 2013; Weng et al., 2009). The VAbstract (Pfeiffer et al., 1996) system extracts scenes with dialogue, high contrast and high motion to construct trailers for feature films.
