Abstract

The amount of video content available nowadays makes video abstraction techniques a necessary tool to ease the access to the already huge and ever growing video databases. Nevertheless, many of the existing video abstraction approaches have high computational requirements, complicating the integration and exploitation of current technologies in real environments. This paper presents a novel method for news bulletin abstraction which combines on-line story segmentation, on-line video skimming and layout composition techniques. The developed algorithm provides an efficient, automatic and on-line news abstraction method which takes advantage of the specific characteristics of news bulletins for obtaining representative news abstracts.
