Dynamic stills and clip trailers
We propose a method for generating visual summaries of video. It reduces browsing time, minimizes screen-space utilization, while preserving the crux of the video content and the sensation of motion. The outputs are images or short clips, denoted as dynamic stills or clip trailers, respectively. The method selects informative poses out of extracted video objects. Optimal rotations and transparency supports visualization of an increased number of poses, leading to concise activity visualization. Our method addresses previously avoided scenarios, e.g., activities occurring in one place, or scenes with non-static background. We demonstrate and evaluate the method for various types of videos.
