Abstract

This work addresses the NHK challenge that aims at automatic recognition of beautiful scenes in broadcast programs. We propose a method that can be used to automatically extract beautiful scenes from videos and rank the scenes in terms of beauty. In particular, we introduce cinemagraphs as an alternative manner for presenting beautiful scenes, and a notion of beauty based on the presence of interesting motions. The method is fully automatic, requires no training phase, and produces beautiful scene cinemagraphs as by-products.
