Method and system for dynamically generating digest from event footage and associated metadata

摘要

A digest or summary is generated from an athletic footage containing a predetermined set of metadata. The metadata includes information on time, score and event types. Scenes are selected from the athletic footage based upon the metadata, and the scenes are significant in a flow of the game or the athletic competition. Some scenes are also selected based upon the assumption that a certain failed scoring attempt is succeeded. The above described selection scheme allows the extraction of scenes that are meaningful and significant in summarizing an athletic footage.
