Abstract

In order to help the user to grasp the long video content quickly, this paper proposes a novel video summarization approach based on redundancy removal and content ranking. By video parsing and cast indexing, the approach first constructs a story board to let user know about the main scenes and the main actors in the video. Then it generates a "story-constraint summary" by key frame clustering and repetitive segment detection. To shorten the video summary length to a target length, our approach constructs a "time-constraint summary" by important factor based content ranking. Extensive experiments are carried out on TV series, movies, and cartoons. Good results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
