Abstract-The key frame is a simple yet effective form of summarizing a long video sequence. The number of key frames used to abstract a shot should be compliant to visual content complexity within the shot and the placement of key frames should represent most salient visual content. Motion is the more salient feature in presenting actions or events in video and, thus, should be the feature to determine key frames. In this paper, we propose a triangle model of perceived motion energy (PME) to model motion patterns in video and a scheme to extract key frames based on this model. The frames at the turning point of the motion acceleration and motion deceleration are selected as key frames. The key-frame selection process is threshold free and fast and the extracted key frames are representative.
To address such a limitation, REF built a motion energy model to perceive motion patterns in the uncompressed domain.
