Detection of perceptually important video events is formulated here on the basis of saliency models for the audio, visual and textual information conveyed in a video stream. Audio saliency is assessed by cues that quantify multifrequency waveform modulations, extracted through nonlinear operators and energy tracking. Visual saliency is measured through a spatiotemporal attention model driven by intensity, color and motion. Text saliency is extracted from part-of-speech tagging on the subtitles information available with most movie distributions. The various modality curves are integrated in a single attention curve, where the presence of an event may be signified in one or multiple domains. This multimodal saliency curve is the basis of a bottom-up video summarization algorithm, that refines results from unimodal or audiovisual-based skimming. The algorithm performs favorably for video summarization in terms of informativeness and enjoyability.
