Title: System for producing video recordings
Inventor: ROGER ANTONY CLARK
IPC: H04N21/8549
Filed: 2017-05-15
Abstract: A method of automatically assembling video highlights using fixed cameras is disclosed, where the cameras each view a fixed zone of interest and monitor the zone of interest for indicators of potentially interesting events. The timestamps of potentially interesting events are identified and used to assemble the highlights. The video highlights are of sporting events such as football or basketball. The zone of interest may be a goal or a basket. The indicators may be movement of players, trajectory of a ball, the relative sizes of objects, the presence of a person or a ball, speed of movement of objects, audio or a combination of these. Zones of interest may be determined by a person, computer image analysis, or by a supervised machine learning module. The supervised machine learning module may identify the potentially interesting events, where the assembled highlights are assigned user feedback scores, the results being returned to the supervised machine learning module. The score may be determined by the number of comments on social media. The advantage of the invention is the automation of the production of video highlights making it suitable for amateur sporting events.
