instant video summarization during shooting with mobile phone
To facilitate review and management of home videos captured by mobile phones, we propose a novel instant summarization method which is applied while users are shooting. Segment boundaries and key frames are extracted without any delay, which means that the extracted frames strictly synchronize with the scene being captured. Partial-context is the major challenge of this method since only captured frames are available when summarization is applied. And limited calculation resource of mobile phones is another restricted condition in such a video analysis, especially when video compression is executed meanwhile. Several frame features are utilized for segmentation and key frame extraction; and an original key frame updating strategy is presented to optimize selected representative frames in such partial-context. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method is satisfactory in the aspects of low computation complexity, high effectiveness and good user experience.
